Issue networking XP and Win2k machines   

Hello,

I am having an issue accessing a share that I created on an XP machine from 
and a Win2k machine. I have a peer to peer network setup, wide open shares, 
and am able to access a dummy share I set up on my win2k machine from my XP 
machine. When I try to access the share on my XP machine from my windows 2000 
machine I recieve the credentials pop-up. I enter the info for the account 
that's logged in on the XP machine. Any info I enter returns a denied: user 
access restriction error. The share is wide open and I'm an admin on both 
machines. I have read something about creating identical accounts on both 
machines but not quite sure. I don't know if its a firewall issue. Any 
ideas?? I would be greatful. Thanks

Hello lca1630,

If you have a firewall running, stop it for testing. Also create the same 
account with the same password on both machines. Also add both machines in 
the same workgroup.

Best regards

Thanks for the quick response, They are both in the same workgroup, but I 
will try the other two. Thanks again
