Hello group

I have an WinXPE machine with network and a shared drive.
My customer tries to connect unsing a WinXP labtop.
The two machines have fixed IP addresses.
When the customer searches for the WinXPE machine, it shows up on the
screen, but when double clicking (trying to open the folders of the winXPE
machine)
the following error is displayed:

\\Oemcomputer\c is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
resource.

Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access
permission.

Does anyone have an idea why ?

Carl,

And what user account is used to get the access to the share?
Use "net use /user..." command for testing.

Thanks for the answer

On the WinXPE machine uses autologon with the name SeaCom and password 1017.
My customer is for sure not having this username and password on his
machine, but then I expect a dialog box prompting the user to enter
name and password.

I am sure that it is some user / password / security setting of the WinXP
machine, as I myself have connected using my XP labtop.

It might be a stupid question, but how can I use the net use/user ?

Carl,

Do you have "TCP/IP Networking with File Sharing and Client for MS Networks" macro (resolved) in yoru XPe image?

Also, see the XPe Release Notes for some reg.fixes around the sharing.

If you use NTFS, do you have your share target attributes set to permit for the user you are logging in with? (or for Everyone which
is less desirable).

Net.exe

Try something like"net use m: /USER:<Username> <password>". Repalce <Username> and <password> with the actual ones.
Type net /? for more info.


Btw, how and what exactly you shared out in XPe image at first place?
