C$ shares in Windows XP
This is a discussion about C$ shares in Windows XP in the Windows Networking category; I upgraded from Win2K to XP and on the machine that I upgraded C$ workds fine. I set XP on my roommates machine and C$ does not work. He can connect to mine and it prompts him to enter a username and a password.
I upgraded from Win2K to XP and on the machine that I upgraded C$ workds fine. I set XP on my roommates machine and C$ does not work. He can connect to mine and it prompts him to enter a username and a password. When I try to connect to his, it wants me to log on as guest. I changed the settings in the local security policy, but it still will not let me on...it keeps asking me to log on as guest. Does anyone know all the settings for which I should change? I referred to the other post in the forum regarding C$ and SAMBA shares and I got the local security policy from there. I think I am missing something somewhere, but I am not sure.

Go and change the following:
Control Panel--> Administrative Tools-->Local Security Policy
Network Access: Sharing and Security Modelfor Local Accounts
should be set to "Classic-local users authenticate as themselves"
