"Connect as...' to WinXP PC will only connect as Guest

I have a WIndowsXP PC connected to my home network that I want to connect to from my MBPro using a local (Windows) account. I need to do this so that I can access files that belong to that account and are not visible if logged in as Guest. Both computer are configured to be in the same Workgroup and the WinXP PC is listed under Shared in Finder on my MBPro. Clicking on the WinXP PC (under Shared) connects me to the WinXP PC but only as "Connected as: Guest". When I click on the "Connect As...:" button, select 'Registered User", enter a valid Name and Password (i.e.- a valid account on the XP box) and then click on Connect, nothing changes and I'm still shown as being connected as Guest.
Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the link. I guess it's not possible to do what I wanted while running my WinXP PC in a Workgroup. I was hoping that connecting to it using a local admin username/password would give me all the rights associated with that local admin account but it appears that is not possible. Even giving a only a specific user access to certain shares appears to only be possible if the XP machine is joined to a domain or if the PC is running Win7.
Thanks again!

  • Microsoft Office 2008 will only work on guest account, after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    After installing Mountain Lion, I cannot get Office 2008 to work, I get an error an then the program will not open.  I logged into my guest user account and Office works fine, so I am guessing it may be an error with my user profile?  Any suggestions on how I can fix this issue? Thank you!

  • My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock.

    My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock, only through the iPod's internal speaker. Help please!

    Have you tried resetting both the iPod and dock? To reset the iPod, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    To reset the dock, unplug it and plug it back in.

  • My iphone 4s will only connect to my home network.

    My iphone 4s will only connect to my home network. Any other I join (eg:starbucks) internet says connection error. Even though the phone says it's connected.

    Since  I have upgraded the the latest iOS in my iPhone 4S , this problem started and eventually the white button for Wi-fi stopped working. The one day before switching off the phone , I took out the SIM and reset the Networking and didn't switch on. Then I wrapped the phone with tissue paper and kept it in the deep refrigerator for 25 to 30 minutes and after cleaning frosty layer, I turned on the phone.... Somehow the Wi-fi button started working and the Wi-fi network too. Then only I inserted the SIM . Magic..!! My phone is still working fine . But I have to do this process once or twice a month every time Wi-fi stops working. Good luck my friend....hope you get benefitted !!

  • My AirPort will only connect to my MacBook.  It won't let anything else connect

    Just purchaed this AirPort 2 days ago.  It will only let me connect my MacBook but I cannot connect my smart tv and iPhone to it.  I've unplugged the modem.  I've reset the modem.  I've unplugged the AirPort.  I've even reset my iPhone and still nothing.  ***!!!!!!  PLEASE ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GRATELY APPRECIATED!!!!!

    Ok, thank you.
    Be sure that you have a known good Ethernet cable going from the Ethernet port on the Motorola modem to the WAN (circle of dots) port on the Time Capsule. Also be sure that you do not have anything connected to the modem's USB port.
    Even though I know that you tried a number of resets, please give the following a try:
    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

    If the system won't boot from the new drive the OP bought and install OS X on it it certainly won't boot from the original drives Recovery HD partition.
    Sorry genius.....but if the Recovery disk shows up that means the disk cable isn't bad.  Could be he did have a screwed up HDD and when he put the NEW HDD in (after putting the OS on it via USB) the computer didn't reconize it and therefore didn't boot the OS.  Just maybe right genius?  Don't rush to criticize someone's recommendations until you realize other possibilities.  (I did say "if it does")

  • When I connect my digital camera to my iPad it will only download the stills, not the videos. How can I download the videos? I have the USB and HDMI connectors for the iPad.

    When I connect my Leica digital camera to my iPad it will only download the photos not the videos. How can I download the videos anyone please?

    If your camera has an SD memory card, use the camera connection kit & the SD card to download to the iPad. That's what I do.
    Another way that will work. Download the video(s) to your computer. Then you can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    First, Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie file into the folder. The movie file must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie file should appear & you can import.

  • Equium M50 will only connect to WLan router when security is off

    MY Equium M50 will only connect to my wireless BELKIN G+ MIMO ROUTER when the security is turned off,
    What is the reason for this please?
    Blonde Bimbo!!

    Hello
    Did you mean the WLan encryption which secures the entry to the wireless LAN?
    I suppose you have set the encryption (WPA, WEP, etc...) on your WLan router but didnt configure the WLan card.
    Well, in my opinion you should check which WLan encryption does the card support and then choose it on the WLan router. The encryption key should be set on the router and on the notebook!
