If the files and folders in question have been properly setup and shared as above, and you're getting only partial access maybe Read, although you intend to grant Write access , check both the Share and NTFS Authorisation lists. Remember that if you grant access, to the share in question, to "Everyone", that refers to Everyone who is properly authenticated. Either a properly setup Guest account on the server , or non-Guest account for a workgroup, on both the client and server, with matching passwords , is still required.
Note: Vista uses deny by default, so if you want "Everyone" Guest to have access, you have to explicitly add permission - new shares don't give Full permission automatically though in some cases, "Everyone" may have read access by default. Always check Security and Sharing, when there is a question. And Simple File Sharing doesn't give you the ability to set access rights either. In that case, you'll have to use extra software and procedures. If you're using Guest authentication, and still getting "access denied" after all of the above steps, check the restrictanonymous setting.
Even with all of the above advice, there are known scenarios, with varying symptoms, with but one common factor - recent or not application of certain Windows Updates. Next, look at the complete and exact text in any observed error messages. Some very obscure errors have very simple resolutions. And finally, repeat Troubleshooting Network Neighborhood. If a Home edition client computer is on the same network with a domain, the computers in the domain should be visible, in Network Neighborhood, under Entire Network - Microsoft Windows Network - name of domain.
The Home edition computer s will not, however, be visible from other clients, or from the servers, in the domain, unless there is a browser server available for the workgroup of which the computer is a member or if that computer is running the browser on its own.
If a Home edition client computer is on the network with a domain, the computer can be made a Member of a workgroup, with the workgroup name the same as the domain name. This will allow the servers in the domain to be visible, in Network Neighborhood, and will make the client visible from other clients, or from the servers, in the domain.
Users on a Home edition client will have to authenticate to any domain servers as they would in a workgroup - using accounts defined locally on each client and server. A Windows XP Professional computer can join a domain, just as any other Windows NT based computer, and can access domain resources in the same way. Simple File Sharing. Logon Welcome Screen. Guest authentication is part of the authentication decision process , in general. With Guest authentication, you have normally two choices for any otherwise shareable folder: whether to allow access to it, and whether to allow read-only or read-write access.
All shared folders and files are equally accessible by everybody who has access to the network. If your server only uses Guest authentication, any shared data is offered, on the network, based upon the status of the Guest account on the server. Other accounts on the server, and on any clients, will not be relevant. Make sure that the Guest account is properly activated for network access.
The Guest account, by definition, is a limited access account, and is similar to anonymous access under Windows. If your server only uses Guest authentication, your computer can't be accessed with administrative authority, thru the network.
No matter what authority you are logged in with, to a client computer, when you access any server using the Guest account, those shares, and any folders and files within those shares, will be inaccessible.
Any files that you want to be accessible thru the network should be kept in the Shared Documents folder, and they will be accessible to everybody. Those folders, by design, can only be accessed by the owner of the data, or by an adminstrator. Guest is neither of those, and shouldn't be expected to have access. Those tasks require administrative access. Utilities like CPSServ won't be able to diagnose problems on a computer using Guest-only access, through the network.
The Guest account may not provide network access if the restrictanonymous setting has the wrong value. The Guest account may not provide network access to specific shares, if the RestrictNullSessAccess setting has the wrong value.
If you need to do so, you can give additional authority to Guest. How to add authority will depend upon your edition and file sharing.
Use extra software and procedures , to edit the permissions settings. If your computer is running XP Home or Vista Home Basic, you'll need extra software and procedures , to edit the permissions settings. Like Guest authentication, it's part of the same decision process. Once you're authenticated, whether with a Guest or a non-Guest account, you need to be authorised. You previously logged in to this server from this client, and selected "Reconnect at login".
Your computer will supply the token, and you will be given server access transparently "transparent token caching". If The account that you're using for desktop access, on the client, is mirrored and activated for network access , on the server.
Any user's My Documents folder cannot be shared if simple file sharing is enabled. Read-only Backup Databases Since the My Documents folder is set to read-only for other users when simple file sharing is enabled, database backups stored in a My Documents subfolder may have the read-only attribute if they are restored by a different user, or on a different computer.
To resolve this, use Windows Explorer to disable the read-only attribute for each of the database files. Follow the steps below:. Restart your computer. Before you see the Windows XP logo, hold down the F8 key. A menu appears with startup options. Login in as an Administrator. A warning appears about running in Safe Mode. Right-click the My Computer icon and select Manage, or open an empty Microsoft Management Console window and add the Shared Folders snap-in for the local computer.
Select one of the basic share permissions listed, or click Customize Share And Folder Permissions to define your own share permissions. Use NTFS security permissions to specify access control levels for both users and groups. By having only one set of permissions to manage, security access levels are less confusing, and you avoid possible conflicts with share permissions. In addition, NTFS security permissions apply to both remote network users and local users, so users cannot circumvent security permissions by logging on to the local computer.
To remove a shared folder from the Shared Folders snap-in, simply right-click the shared folder and select Stop Sharing. Click Yes and the folder will no longer be shared on the network. Windows XP Professional automatically creates shared folders by default each and every time the computer is started. When users browse through the My Network Places window, for example, they cannot see that such hidden shares even exist; Microsoft Windows Networking does not allow hidden shares to be displayed.
The default hidden network shares include the following:. IPCs support communications between objects on different computers over a network by manipulating the low-level details of network transport protocols. IPCs enable the use of distributed application programs that combine multiple processes working together to accomplish a single task.
When a remote computer connects to a printer over the network, the appropriate printer driver is downloaded to the remote PC.
Although you can temporarily disable hidden shares, you cannot delete them without modifying the Registry which is not recommended , because they get re-created each time the computer restarts. You can connect to a hidden share, but only if you provide a user account with administrative privileges along with the appropriate password for that user account. Administrators can create their own custom administrative hidden shares simply by adding a dollar sign to the share name of any shared folder.
Users and network administrators have several options available to them for connecting to shared network resources. These options include the following:. At this point, you are connected to that shared resource, provided that you possess the proper user ID, password, and security permissions needed to access the shared folder. You can connect to a network share from My Network Places.
To use the My Network Places window, perform the following steps:. Enter the Internet Or Network Address, or click Browse to locate the network share by viewing the available network resources.
You can connect to one of the following types of resources:. Click Finish to establish the connection to the shared folder, provided that you have the proper permissions.
A list of network resources to which you have already connected is then displayed within the My Network Places window. You can create and delete shared folders from the command line instead of using the GUI. Windows XP offers several Net commands that you use from the command line.
You also have the option of connecting to network shares via the Net Use command. To connect to a remote resource from the command line, follow these steps:. If you possess the appropriate permissions for that network share, you should see the message The Command Completed Successfully displayed in your command prompt window.
When you, as a network administrator, grant access to shared resources over the network, the shared data files become very vulnerable to unintentional, as well as intentional destruction or deletion by others. This is why network administrators must be vigilant in controlling data access security permissions.
If access permissions to shared folders are too lenient, shared data may become compromised. On the other hand, if access permissions are set too stringently, the users who need to access and manipulate the data may not be able to do their jobs. Managing access control for shared resources can be quite challenging.
By right-clicking a shared folder and selecting Sharing, you can modify some of the shared folder's properties. You can specify whether network users can cache shared data files on their local workstations.
To configure offline access settings for the shared folder, click the Caching button to display the Cache Settings dialog box. The default is to allow caching of files whenever you create a new shared folder. If you allow caching of files for a shared folder, you must choose from three options in the Caching Settings dialog box:. Older copies of files are automatically deleted to make room for newer and more recently accessed files.
To ensure proper file sharing, the server version of the file is always opened. Now, you ought to be able to browse the network by double-clicking Network Neighborhood or My Network Places. See the Troubleshooting section for how to proceed.
If the list of shares appears, then all is well. This happens because the XP Professional machine is not satisfied with the credentials of the user attempting to browse it.
You may now look in the individual shares. Entering a valid user name and password grants access. In this example, we cover the situation where you need to consider NTFS permissions as well as share permissions. However, if you created the user accounts as Administrator accounts, and the My Documents folder has not been marked as Private , then no further action is necessary, since Administrators have NTFS access to default non- Private My Documents folders.
The option is present on My Music , My Pictures etc. If you really want to share the whole My Documents folder, you still can: right-click it and select Properties to see the Sharing and Security tabs. In the Permissions button, we add Iona and Catriona with Read and Change permission, and remove everyone , as before.
What happened? We gave Iona permissions to access the share, so why was she was not allowed? Remember about network user having to get past both gatekeepers? This time, we choose the Security tab. Use the Add button to add the users or groups that should have access to the shared folder.
Question: Should you now disable the Guest account? Having set up explicit share permissions, do you still need the Guest account enabled? Answer: Most network administrators would not enable the Guest account.
If ALL users who you wish to permit to access to your machine have specific accounts, then you should disable the Guest account. They will still have access to shares that you created with Simple File Sharing , because this put the everyone group in the ACL, and that includes all the users you created, as well as guests. The guest users will only be granted access to shares with Guest permissions.
That includes any shares with the Everyone group. They will be unable to access shares without explicit guest permissions. It only prevents Guest logins at the console of the local machine. The Guest account is still enabled for network access! Use the method described above to disable the Guest account. Note also that turning the Guest account on from Control Panel User Accounts will both enable the Guest account and permit local login. Question: If you have more than one XP Professional machine, do you need to create user accounts on them all?
Answer: Say you have several XP Professional machines, each with disks and folders to be shared. When you go to add users to the ACL, the only users available to be added are from the local machine!
Do you need to create identical user accounts on all the machines? The basic answer is YES. You need to create identical user accounts on all machines which a user needs to access. Then, the user name and password offered by that machine will be accepted by all of the other computers. Does this seem messy?
