zillah Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I have got PC with win2003 server and another with windows XP Professional , I can access windows XP form windows 2003 through “My Network Places”,,,I have to enter the username and password for windows XP (for XP’s administrator) to be able to access the shared folder.Now If I shut down windows 2003 and I open it aging, I still be able to access windows XP without typing in username and password. Some time (not all the times) after two days I still able to access XP without entering username and password,,,Why does this happen ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jondercik Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 2. Doesnt matter.3. I am assuming the computers are in a workgroup environment. In this environment why you try to access shares on other machines the credentials you are currently logged in on the machine are passed to the other. If the username and password are the same you will not be prompted to provide them. If they are different you will be.Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
