Connecting from ME to 2000
I have a W2000 Pro machine, of which I want to share the CD
drive, so I have shared it with the sharename CD. I want to use the drive from a WMe machine, which does not have any users configured (so, I suppose, there is a default user). I don't want to configure users on the Me because I don't want anyone to have to log on. On the Me machine, I do Tools - Map network drive, and (in the Path box) enter the UNC name of the CD drive (\\machinename\CD). When I click OK, I am asked for the password for the resource - but I have not configured a password for the resource (in fact, I don't think one can do so). I have tried the password with which I am logged on to the W2000 machine; I have also tried blank and space, and I have defined a password for the Guest user of the W2000 machine and tried that. None of them works. So I did a NET USE from the command prompt; when asked for a password, I tried the same ones. In each case, I get the following message: Error 5: You do not currently have access to this file. The file may be marked read-only, or it may be part of a shared resource such as a folder, a named pipe, a queue, or a semaphore. You can use the ATTRIB command to change the read-only attribute, or try again later when the file may be available. Note that a user on the W2000 machine IS able to use resources on the Me machine, so there is a good connection between them. |
