Hi everyone,

Im at a customer of mine trying to solve a problem with
filesharing over the local network on 3 XP Professional
machines.
All the computers show in the workgroup but its not
possible to access them, after a bit of troubleshooting I
found that in the 'local security settings' the rule
for 'Access this computer from the network' is empty, ie.
noone has access, I change this rule so Everyone has
access but after rebooting its gone again and at some
times it has cleaned itself even while the computer is
still running..

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I've had many problems with local filesharing due to
software firewalls. Zonealarms free edition actually
continued to block my access once even after it was
uninstalled because it left a setting in the registry.
(Old Windows 98 system) Take a look at that.
 
Are all the users logging on with passwords.

Must logon on with password to acces shared folders.
 
Thanks, I will take a look at that, I actually believe
they have disabled passwords on their user accounts.
