VPN, Folder password Request

[Guest]

Hi

Desktop Server XP Pro to post SP2
Laptop Client XP Pro to post SP2

The tick has been removed from Use simple file sharing on both machines

I have managed to get a VPN connection working fine.I can see all Shared
folders on the server.

My problem now is i get a win Logon password request (the User-name space is
grayed out. If i take the tick out of Use Simple file sharing, the User-name
box is available) when i try to open a shared folder.
I have checked the security permissions, for the folder, and all seems
correct.
No matter which user-name or password i use, nothing is accepted.

Do i need to alter settings in secpol.msc

Thanks for any help with this.

On the XP server computer create a user with the same username and password
used to log into the XP laptop. Grant this user permission to use the shared
folder.
