Alan, I have been having a problem with networking a
WinXP Pro computer with a Win98SE computer.
My daughter's computer has XP Pro that acquired a nasty
virus that I couldn't get rid of after 2 days of trying.
I finally just fdisk'd and formatted it and reinstalled
XP Pro. I applied all the patches including SP2.
Everything is working great except for transferring files
between one folder on both of our computers and giving
her read only access on 2 other folders on my computer.
It has something to do with permissions but I am not
quite up to speed with XP and all this permission stuff.
When I try to transfer a file from her computer to my
computer, it says that access is denied and to check to
be sure I have the correct permissions.
If I try to send a file to her computer from mine, it
asks for a password to \\<computer name>\IPC$.
Any password I enter is rejected.
I read where I needed to make my account on her computer
and use my password, which I did but still didn't work.
I also tried going into the computer management tools
menu and give access to my account, her account and
"everybody", but that didn't work either.
I am either doing something wrong or none of this
has worked.
It worked ok before I reinstalled but now it doesn't
work.
Could you tell me what I am forgetting to do or not
doing correctly so this will work?
Also, the shared folders show up on both of our
computers but I can't access hers and she can't access
mine.


.... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
