I solve it by simply deleting all the usb-drivers from Device Manger and rebooting the computer If anyone should have same Unknown device/usb won't connect problem

Using Windows xp service pack2 for both stationary and laptop mp3player 1: usb 1.1 archos jukebox mp3player 2: usb2 fast - tangent audio The first one could connect but at some point suddenly windows wouldnt connect to it anymore. At not with my laptop either. So i thought this must be broken. I got a second one, but that one wouldnt connect either for both computers, (doesnt need drivers, just standard usb drivers which comes with win xp). I tried it with a friend and it worked fine (he has winxp servicepack2). My usb memorystick works fine (fat32). So I'm a guessing it must be because my win-xp can't recognize removable fat16 devices. Can this be true and how do I fix this?. I have tried to alter driver letters in disc management to avoid any conflict that might be. But that didnt fix it. (this was the support for the mp3player regarding connecting problem).

Thx for the reply However it's only possible for me to make this happen when it's simple filesharing. I have never been able to look into a folder if it's not simple sharing. Network-mapping a folder and logging in as another valid still gives the error. "You dont have right to access the folder, bla bla bla" Simple sharing allows all people in, which is no good. What to do? EDIT: Now it works, after reboot and fidling with setting simple share on/off a couple of times. Dunno why It didn't worked from start EDIT: Now I know. I had to disable the folder options -> view 'Automatically search for network folders and printers' Else some alert boxes would popup about already authenticated as another user bla bla. Thx for the support

Thx for the replyhowever could somebody please list the order and from which computer, as guessing the combinations of those possible actions is giving me frustration. Virtual map drive z: to the folder which is to be shared, I can do this. But is it for computer A or B or both? This would be computer B obviouslyhow do I make the connection? Should I type in explorer window at adress bar something like this-> \\compa\z: I guess I am logging on from Computer B to Computer A here or am I missing something? If someone could put it into a list like this I will be very grateful. Computer A (win xp pro, server) - do this - do this - do this Computer B (win xp home, client) - do this - do this - do this

I've tried misc possibilites, just doesnt work, only with simple sharing method without password. Here's what I do, what is wrong here? Computer A: (winxp pro) - computername is compa - network group is mynetwork - disabled simple sharing - made a new limited user called buddy - chose a folder f and enabled sharing for everyone and buddy with ntfs read-ability Computer B: (winxp home) - computername is compb - network group is mynetwork - type in explorer window at adress bar -> \\compa - I see the compa and the shared folder f, but when I click on this folder I get an error box saying I'm not allowed or have access right for that folder

Thx for the help, however I'm not sure how to do this. I've read some guides about ntfs and I've disabled the simple file sharing so I can set ntfs permission to user-levels. Now I can change the permission from everyone to a specific user/group But how do I manage to make a permission that is not everyone and which is allowed to computer B? It seems like It's only users from computer A that can be assigned to a specific ntfs filesharing settings, not computers outside like computer B. (not sure about this statement though) I would like a simple guide to achive this if this is possible

I have computer A, which has windows XP pro this computer is connected to a LAN a computer B, which has windows XP home, is connected to that LAN how do I share a folder from computer A, which is password protected so only computer B, can have access to that folder? I know you can rightlick a folder, select properties, then sharing then share this folder on the network. But how do i set a password so only computer B can have access?
