I have three PCs on the company network -- no firewalls in between them. Two are recognized by servers -- hostname & password. The third is not and will not be, it has its own users and passwords -- on the network, but stand-alone. The PCs recognized by servers (hostname and password) can connect to each other by setting up user permissions -- using server recognized username and passwords -- always reconnects. The third PC is a problem. Sometimes I can make it work by disconnecting one of the shared folders, rebooting and mapping agin. Now it simply will not connect. I use the remote PC valid PCname\folder and User & password (as defined on this third PC), or PCname\Folder Administrator & password (also as defined on this third PC). I get the message about "already connected as another user" etc. What does this mean, I am disconnected! It has been diconnected and re-booted. In the past disconnecting one shared folder and rebooting the PC attempting to make the connection to the third PC would allow me to (re-)map the shared folder, then the other shared folders would ask for user name and password when I tried to open them -- and they would open. Now I cannot get it to work at all. I can see and always reconnect to a printer on this third PC withoput a problem, it is just the folders. I can also do a remote desktop to this third PC, but of course that does not allow me to transfer files from the third PC back to the one I am on (unless there is something else I do not know). Any help appreciated. |
