Bakuchris Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Lately i have been trying to access Windows NT4 Shares on Windows XP, but for some reason i cannot see any of the shared folders of NT4 on my XP Machine, and Windows NT cannot see any of my shared folders from Windows XP. I have even updated Windows NT 4.0 to the latest Service Pack available, Even went through many options of Networking to try fixing this problem. If anyone knows of a way that i can still share files with Windows NT4 without downgrading My Computer to a older operating system that would be grateful.

awergh Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 So the computers show up in Network Places/Network Neighbourhood, but you can't see the shares once your in that computer?Do you have any blank passwords for your username. NT4 doesn't like accessing shares with blank passwords I believe.Are you using XP Home? Simple file sharing could be a problem here.Its not something simple such as all your shares have $ in them and therefore they don't actually show up in Network Places/Network Neighbourhood is it?

jaclaz Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 When in doubt on these topics, the "right" resource is this one:http://www.windowsnetworking.com/*anything* from "basic" to "advanced" is covered, including quite a few well designed/documented "troubleshooting paths".jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
