Hey gang,

workplace computers suck hahaha....

At work we have a small network, and one of the computers that ran win98 crashed and XP was installed over it. I put all the network on and mapped the right drives. the user name is exactly the same, and i believe the workgroup name for all computers is the same also.

However, when trying to access the mapped drives, it says it doesnt have authorisation. now i hold all the share and security settings on the main computer acting as a sever also, but i cant seem to add his username, the 'add' button is shaded out in the "sharing" folder of the network drive in question. i have looked countless other ways but cant seem to grant him access.

[edit] The computer acting as server is Xp pro also[/edit]

His computer is displayed on the 'computers on network' and you can access the windows default shared files across the computers, but not the mapped drives.

Does anyone else have any insight? its not my job for the computers at work, and i aint the greatest network guru, more of a hardware guy lol....

Anyways, thanks in advance
