XP pro file sharing in a domain

G

Guest

HI
I am trying to set up a shared folder on an XP pro machine and give
permissions to only certain domain users. Problem is when I go to
permissions, then "Add" then the only location I can see is the local
computer - no option to see in the domain for users/computers on the domain.
WIN2000 clients bring up the option of the local computer name and the domain
no problem.

What am doing wrong?

You need a Windows server (Nt, 2000 or 2003) in order to have a domain. If
you do not, you can only use Workgroups.

The XP pro machine is on a domain controlled by win2000 server. It logs onto
he domain ok. No workgroups are involved.
