    Default File sharing

    I have a windows xp home machine(A) and a windows pro
    machine(B). I have setup home netweoking on both the
    computers. They can look at each other, ping each other
    successfuly. I have created shareon both the machines and
    the machine A (XP Home) can access the share folders of
    Machine B (XP PRO), but the vice-versa is not true.
    Machine B cannot access the share folder on Machine A.
    Another problem which i noticed is that If I am logged on
    Machine A and click it's Own share folder. It gives the
    following error message. "Not enough server storgae to
    process the command." It is the same message I get from
    Machine B trying to access Machine A. I checked all the
    connections (TCP/IP, File share Networks..)

    Default File Sharing

    I have a small network. I have a WINXP Home machine and
    2 Window98 machines. If I create a file in Word on the Xp
    machine the WIN98 machines get a "Open as Read Only'
    message. If the WIN98 machines create the document the XP
    machine can open and modify it but as soon as the XP
    machine saves it I get the "Read Only message again on
    the Win98 machine. The files are being saved on the XP
    machine and ahve the file sharing set to "Allow network
    users to change my files".

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks:

    Default file sharing

    We have a network with both win 98 and win XP machines.
    Our domain server is a win 2000 server . We cannot get
    the newer machines running XP to file share with the
    win98 machines. We share a folder on the Xp machine and
    the only other users on the network that can see it are
    the Win XP users.
    Thanks in advance

    Make sure that the share name of the folder on the XP machine isn't
    longer than 12 characters. If it is, 98 won't be able to see it.

    Default File Sharing

    I just built a new load of Windows XP Pro SP1 on a
    laptop. Set up with 3 partitions -- system/programs on
    the first, data on the second, backups on the third.
    Want to share the third partition so I can move backup
    files to a larger machine since some are too large to
    burn to CD efficiently.

    For this scenario, I want the larger machine to access
    the laptop. Further, I want to require a valid userid
    and password to be entered so that only authorized people
    can initiate this action.

    I had this on Win 2000 Pro, but can't seem to figure out
    how to do it on XP Pro.

    Any help?

    Thanks,

    John

    Is a firewall involved in this (possibly XP's builtin one)?

    Greetings --

    On the WinXP PC, create local user account(s), with non-blank
    password(s), that have the desired access privileges to the desired
    shares. Log on to the other PCs using those account(s), and you will
    be able to access the designated shares, provided your network is
    configured properly.

    Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
    almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
    easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:

    Thanks. Actually, I use ZoneAlarm Pro and dropped it to ensure it was not
