W2K Host to XP Remote SHARE Issue

Featured Replies

I have an issue with a W2KPro machine hosting a file and not allowing an XPPro machine to open as guest, BUT the XPPro machine can HOST the file REMOTELY, and then the W2K box (where the file is Local) can open as GUEST. Seems backwards. WHY won't it work the other way?

The scenario that works indicates that you have OS level file sharing going on. Don't! That is the #1 cause for damaged files.

As to the issue: is the XP built-in firewall on? Can you access the hosted file by specifying the IP address of the W2K box?
