XP Networking

[Ray]

I've got seven machines all running xp pro. Now one of
the machines I had to go back and layer the OS again,
because a bunch of stuff was a mess on that machine.
Since doing this, the box shows up on the network, but
now I've got permissions issues. It tells me that the
\\cpu\share is not accesible contact network
administrator. I AM THE NETWORK Administrator and I've
gone through everything I can think of. I've even run
the network set up wizard just in case I am missing
something. Can someone give me a different idea or go
over this again in case I'm missing something??????

Ray,

On any XP Pro computer, 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.

With XP Pro, if SFS is disabled, check the Local Security Policy (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".

With XP Pro, if you set the Local Security Policy to "Guest only", make sure
that the Guest account is enabled, thru Local User Manager (Start - Run -
"lusrmgr.msc"), and has an identical, non-blank, password on all computers. If
"Classic", setup and use a common non-Guest account, with identical, non-blank,
password on all computers.

For XP Pro with Simple File Sharing enabled, make sure that the Guest account is
enabled (thru Local User Manager (Start - Run - "lusrmgr.msc")), on each
computer.
