Hi, ever since I installed windows Xp Professional other user in my LAN
cannot access my computer, it keeps saying that they do not have previledge
to access my computer. Worst of all is that i am using hosting a site using
IIS and they access it. I don't know what the problem is.
Have you given the users of the other computers explicit permissions to
access the desired shared resources?
On the WinXP computer, create local user account(s), with non-blank
password(s), that have the desired access privileges to the desired
shares. Log on to the other PCs using those account(s), and you will be
able to access the designated shares, provided your network is
configured properly. Also, if running WinXP SP1 or lower, make sure
that WinXP's built-in firewall is disabled on the internal LAN
connection. If using WinXP SP2, make sure that you've either disabled
the built-in firewall, or set the firewall to allow file and print sharing.
Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:
