re: You might not have permission to use this network resource Thursday, July 31, 2003 at 12:01 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Exdub (1 messages posted) Someone said that you need to have a Guest account so that the sharing works. I don't know if that is true but I do have a guest account. That creates another problem. Windows XP requires that every single account need to have a password. If a single account doesn't have password, XP lets nobody to log in remotely. So you need to set password to guest account. Normally Windows XP doesn't let you to set password for Guest account. In order to set it you need to go to Control Panel \ Administrative Tools \ Compute Management \ Local Users and Groups \ Users. Then select Guest and with a right click select "Set Password". I don't know if this helps you but after these changes my sharing started to work! I also did enable "Remote Desktop" from System. And did select users with "Select Remote Users...". I don't know if that is required but that is what I have. After all of this I can share folders and acces them from the other machine. However, I need to provide user id and password. That is a minor problem since on the client machine you can select to save these. Note also that I am not able to use Guest account (although I had to set password to it). I need to use a real user account. Somebody mentioned that firewall cannot be on. That is not true. My internet connection has firewall on and the sharing still works.
