gamehead200 Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Is this in a domain or workgroup?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Its in a workgroup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 That's strange... I've always done networking without the Guest account. Have you tried using a login of a user on the remote computer? For me, it's always remembered that setting (probably since there was a password involved). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Celt Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Try leaving the workgroup then rejoining & remapping the drive. I'm thinking here that the Sid's for automatic logon have changed since the reformat, which would cause the incorrect username box to appear.When you enter it again, only the user/pwd is used to authenticate and since that exists on the server, you can log on.Leaving the workgroup and then rejoining should reset all the Sid's for the reformatted computer, allowing you to access the drive without entering a username/password.Hope that works for you.

Zxian Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yeah... the guest account does suck. That's why I always disable it on my computers... it also helps to protect us security paranoid people from having "guests" on our computers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only your ability to log on locally with it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
