Mapping Network Drives

[Olukayode Akinsola]

I have about three computers on my netwrk here at home,
and in the past I have been able to sucessfully map
across the network the drives of different computers, so
I can transfer information easily from computer to
computer. However in the past, I was only able to
establish this link between my main computer with Windows
XP and a storage computer using Windows 2000. I recently
installed windows XP on the storage computer, and now I
can't map to that computer anymore. When it prompts me
for the username and password when mapping, the username
is set to "Guest", for which there is no password. Does
anyone know how to sucessfully map one computer to
another that both use Windows XP?

This may be caused by the enhanced security defaults in XP. You need to
make sure that you have all the accounts setup correctly on your new XP box.
Then check the permissions on the shared drive to be sure that those
accounts have proper access permissions.
