Common problem with windows network

[Mathieu Pagé]

Hi,

I have this problem that I think is common, but I could'nt find related
post on usenet

I have some computer (6) all on windows XP Pro (and one on XP home)
everything was going well since I have to format one of the machine and
re-install windows. Now it is connected on the network and have access to
the internet connection. When we go in worgroup, we can see other computers
but when i click on any of them there is a message telling me that I have
not the right to see his ressources. Same things happens when other computer
try to access to my net shares.


My question is: What is the problem ?

Thanks

Windows 2000 & XP pro require a login to create a security ID (SID) to
determine access to recourses. With a server (Windows 2000 Server) you
login once to access everything on the network. With out a server (As
you described your network) you must do one of two things.

1. Create a user account on every machine with the same login NAME &
PASSWORD
2. Enter a valid Username & Password for the machine that the shared
resource is located.
