Hi,

having an interesting problem. I can`t seem to connect to
some computers that are running XP SP1. When I try to use
start>run \\192.168.2.71\c$ I get the log in box for user
name and password. I use the correct user name and
password, but it will not let me connect. This happens on
4 out of 18 XP SP1 computers. 14 computers that have no
problem was configured by me, the other 4 are systems that
I haven`t looked at, since they are not located near me.

I have sent configuration instructions to the 4 other
computer`s user and yet, still can not connect.

I can access their shared folders, but not to the C$ nor
by using DameWare mini-remote control. The other 14
computers is no problem. All 18 computers are XP-Pro
SP1. If anyone has any suggestions why those 4 will not
allow me access, please let me know. Thank you

Hi,

The instructions I created and sent to the 4 user`s whose
computer I cannot access.

Hi,

I don`t think so, since they are the same instructions I
used when doing the other 14 XP-Pro SP1 systems. The 4
that I can not connect to are older XP-Pro systems, I
haven`t seen them since its a two hour flight to where
they are located. For me to use DameWare, they need to
disable Simple File Checking, the instructions even has
pictures to where to go and what to uncheck. Also
included pictures of Network connections, ensure the XP
SP1 cheap firewall is also disabled. The file and print
sharing are enabled. I might have to go look at the
computers to see what might be set incorrectly.

When yoy say you can't connect what is the error message?
Access Denied? Is it possible that the account password
you used as been changed? or that the account's been
deleted? Can you at least look at the account with User
Manager for Domains?
