Windows XP File sharing question

[Guest]

Assume I had two machines in a network(not a domain member, just a NetBIOS
environment)
Machine A:
3 User Account:
Peter;(password protected)
John;(password protected)
Guest(Default guest account,No password)

Two file share:
MM share: permission only Peter and John can read/write
NN share: Everybody can read/write

Machine B:
2 User Account:
John;(password protected)
Guest(Default guest account,No password)


John account in both machine password is correct.

Now the situation is, B machine only can view NN share, but not all share

How can set the B machine as when John local login, he can see A machine
both MM and NN share?

Ricky,

Please slow down and write with more detail. You have an interesting report, I
am having just a little problem figuring out the details.

Can you see both MM and NN shares, when logged in as anybody?

Please explain in more detail "B machine only can view NN share, but not all
share". What is meant by "all share"?

Now the B machine only can view NN share, but when try to access MM share,
it said Access is Denied.

I had found out the Event log in A machine, its state that B machine is
using guest account to access network share, but not use John account to
access.

Ricky,

OK, that's a good start.

Is this XP Home or Pro? With XP Home, you're stuck with Simple File Sharing,
and Guest-only network access.

With XP Pro, check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control Panel - Folder Options
- View - Advanced settings) is enabled or disabled. With XP Pro, you need to
have SFS properly set on each computer.

On XP Pro with SFS disabled, check the Local Security Policies (Control Panel -
Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies - Security Options, look at
"Network access: Sharing and security model", and ensure it's set to "Classic -
local users authenticate as themselves".

On XP Pro with SFS disabled, if you set the above Local Security Policy to
"Guest only", enable the Guest account, using Start - Run - "cmd" - type "net
user guest /active:yes" in the command window. If "Classic", setup and use a
common non-Guest account on all computers. Whichever account is used, give it
an identical, non-blank password on all computers.

On XP Home, and on XP Pro with Simple File Sharing enabled, make sure that the
Guest account is enabled, on each computer. Enable Guest, with Start - Run -
"cmd", then type "net user guest /active:yes" in the command window. Ensure
that the password for Guest is blank, with Start - Run - "control
userpasswords2"; select Guest, click Reset Password, click OK without entering a
new password.

On XP Pro, if you're going to use Guest authentication, check your Local
Security Policy (Control Panel - Administrative Tools) - User Rights Assignment,
on the XP Pro computer, and look at "Deny access to this computer from the
network". Make sure Guest is not in the list. Look at "Access this computer
from the network", and make sure that Everyone is in this list.
