Hi Ihave a small network of three computers using shared drive on one
computer. All running W2k

There is no requirement for users security (apart from Admin) so what I have
done is make a single user group - office, and W2K assumes that user is
member of that group.

I make all three machines the same.

However when I attach to the shared drive, I am being asked to log on. If I
do as Office, then I get nowhere. Is this because I am using same user
group on all machines.

Do I need to create additional user (Office2 and Office3) for when second
and third machine log onto Machine1?

Does that make sense?

Thanks

Alex

Try creating identical user accounts on each PC.
 
Well in fact that was what I had, and although the machines see each other,
when i try to map a drive to the main shared drive from the other computers
I am asked to login. if I use the normal user "Office", it doesn't let me
go any further.

In order to map network drives, so i hjave to be logged in as administrator,
and if so, will those mappings be saved for normal users without admin
rights?

Thanks

I am having the exact same problem at my office, They log
on to the domain and all their shares work for a little
while from the server, then after a bit if I try to map
to the share I am asked to log on, If I use the same log
on info they logged onto the domain with they get an
error stating that has already been tried. The only way
they get access is if and admin user is used. I have
WINS and DHCP running on the server. Do I have to have
all the users set up as DHCP and WINS users under active
directory? Because under DHCP it is showing up correct.
