Login Problem W2k small network

A

Alex H

I have a problem loggon into a small three machine network.

I am using a workgroup names "Workgroup"
Each machine is loaded W2k are are names office1, office2 and office3.
Each machine has User of Administrator (with admin rights of course) and
Church User which is member of users group.
In setting up we configured Network so that W2K assumes all users are Church
User. No passwords are set, so W2k logs straight in

office 1 has a single drive partitions C: (which contains system, programme
files etc) and F: which contains all of the data. Drive F is shown as
shared.

office2 and office 3 have C: drive only.

On office2 I have logged in as administrator and tried to map Drive F: to
\\office1\f$.
However, when I am trying to map this I get a dialogue box asking me for a
user login name and password for office1. I have entered Church User but I
get back an error message saying that it is not a valid name of password.

However if I enter Administrator and the password. i can map the drive Ok.
However when i then restart office2 and get to the point where it maps the
drive, it is asking for the username and password.

How do I configures machines office2 and office 3, so that they just
automatically login as Church user with standard user rights and map a drive
to Office1 drive F:

Sorry to be so long winded - Many thanks

Alex

Drives are shared by default for Admins only, and security
on them should not be changed. My suggestion would be
that you create a folder on your F: drive, move all
files/folders you want shared from the root to that
folder, and then share that folder.
