Shared folder access

[Cristian Iosifescu]

Hi all !
I have three questions:

1. How can I fill the "Comment" field for Computers on a workgroup network
(that's beside the full computer name)
2. How can I change settings for shared folders (that are already shared
with full control permissions for everyone) in order to get rid of the
massage that says "Incorrect password or unknown username... " and asks for
a Network password (Connect as... & Password). I don't have an account on
those computers.
3. Where can I find an e-book or a Web page with detailed iformations about
configuring W2k pro - i.e. Administrative Tools?

Thanks

Run this command from a Command Prompt:
net config server /srvcomment:"Workhorse"

2. How can I change settings for shared folders (that are already shared
with full control permissions for everyone) in order to get rid of the
massage that says "Incorrect password or unknown username... " and asks for
a Network password (Connect as... & Password). I don't have an account on

I believe that you can do this by enabling the guest account and
giving everyone full access. Doing so has the advantage that
your machine will now be wide open to every hacker. Enjoy!
