Sharing and Authorisation problem

I have an OS 10.6 Intel Mac Mini, and a Windows XP HP Netbook, both "authorised" and both with "home sharing" enabled.
Now while I can see the Mac's music library, and can start the selected music playing on the Netbook, it only plays for about one minute, then cuts out.

Further to the above - I can even transfer music from the Mac to the XP Netbook, but only for around one minute - so it sems the connection for "Sharing" between the two machines only lasts for a minute. The only way to get sharing back up again is to close iTunes on the XP machine, and then reopen it - when again the connection lasts for a minute !
Anyone - any thoughts ? This is weird.

CS5.5 Import for runtime sharing and preview problem

Hello
I'm having a strange issue with CS5.5 and the import for runtime sharing settings. Here's what I'm doing: I create two .fla's, Export.fla and Import.fla. In Export.fla, I create a shape, select it, press F8 and tick export for runtime sharing, to create a really simple exported movie clip. I click the exported symbol in the library, press Ctrl-C, switch to Import.fla and press Ctrl-V. Everything ok so far, the symbol is imported for runtime sharing.
The first problem I have at this stage is that changes I do to the exported symbol in Export.fla are not reflected in Import.fla, only in the final .swf's I can see the changes. Also, unlike in CS4 and CS5 I cannot "Update" the imported symbol in the library right-click menu, to make changes to Export.fla visible in Import.fla. The menu entry is just greyed out...
So I tried to use Authortime sharing, in the Symbol Properties for the imported symbol in Import.fla. I link the source to the symbol in Export.fla, and once I do that, everything is completely borked. The previously imported symbol is no longer imported. Whenever it is changed in Export.fla, it gets an "Export for Runtime Sharing" tick in its Properties in Import.fla, and worst, it is not shared at runtime, like I need it to.
Can anyone tell me how to get the "normal" CS/4/5 behaviour in CS5.5: a runtime shared symbol, that can be updated in Import.fla (I dont care if manually or auotmatically) when I change it in Export.fla, and which also is runtime shared?
Cheers
Ulf

Hi, JonnyDiamond
Thank you for reporting the issue for runtime sharing settings affected by authortime sharing. It is fixed for parent symbols in Flash Pro CS6, but we just recognized it is not for nested items.
As an alternative to deleting and re-copying the symbol, we see the following steps restore the original settings of the nested bitmap symbol (png in your case) for importing runtime shared library. After you open Bitmap Properties dialog of the bitmap symbol, go to ActionScript section and:
1. Uncheck Export for ActionScript
2. Check Import for runtime sharing
3. Input the path to Library.swf in URL
4. Click OK twice
Please try these steps to see if they work for you. If they do, the simalr steps can be processed via JSFL script. It would be something like this:
//// To restore the settings to import runtime shared library //////
// Get Library items
var myItems = fl.getDocumentDOM().library.items;
// Store an item from myItems
var myItem;
// Path to runtime shared library. Change this to your path
var pathToRSL = "Library.swf";
// Go through Library
for (var i = 0; i < myItems.length; i++)
          myItem = myItems[i];
// Change the condition to suit to your Library
          if(myItem.itemType == "bitmap" &&
             myItem.name.split(".").pop() == "png" &&
             myItem.linkageExportForRS == true )
    switchRSSettings(pathToRSL);
// Disable Export for runtime sharing and
// enable Import for runtime sharing
function switchRSSettings(path)
          myItem.linkageExportForRS = false;
          myItem.linkageExportInFirstFrame = false;
          myItem.linkageExportForAS = false;
          myItem.linkageImportForRS = true;
          myItem.linkageURL = path;
///////////////////////// End of Script ////////////////////
We hope this would help you workaround the issue. Again, thank you for your report!
Thanks

Windows Server 2003 Sharing and Security Problem

Hello all,
I am having a problem with setting permissions and sharing folder "A" within our domain. As a member of Domain Admins, I am unable to open the contents of any folder within folder A's hierarchy. Domain Admins has full control
at the top level of the folder structure, so I am not sure why I cannot open any of the subfolders. I have even added my user id directly to the top folder with full permissions and I am still not able to open any of the sub folders. The message
I get is "Access is denied". I have even tried giving Everyone full control and I can still not open any lower level folders. Not sure how this happened or how to fix it. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks very much,
Linda
Thanks, Linda

Just because it is set at the top level doesnt guarantee that it is fully inherited to all the files and folders below it. You have two things to consider
1) It's possible specific folders or files below have been set to not inherit permissions. So no change at a higher level will change them. You can see if this is the case.
2) When you add yourself to the top folder, did you got into advanced mode and ensure that it was set to This Folder, Files and Sub Folders?

Server 2008R2 mapping to shared folders fails users of Windows 8.1 but seems OK on Windos 8.0 and no problems for Windows 7

Having read what I could from the related questions, the answers still elude me. This issue apparently is specific to Windows 8.1.
First, a little background.
1: The server is not on a domain, The system runs Server 2008-R2 standard with all folders shared across a standard "Workgroup" type network. They would prefer to
leave this layout intact.
2: The shared folders are nothing but Data files. There are no active system folders or anything used in an "active" environment. They are mostly Word doc, excel
files, pdf, txt, etc. However, due to the requirements of the software that needs to access these files, they Must
reside on a mapped network drive letter. Nothing else works due to the way the SQL database program stores the reference points back to the data.
I have had some success using what amounts to a “simulated” mapping using WebDAV to access the server. But access speed is a lot slower ad file size is limited.
3: The system has been configured as-is for the past 3 years with Users all on Windows 7 x64 (mixed OS, some Home Premium, some Professional) and the only problems that come up are when
access is through an ISP that blocks port 445. This was the original reason for finding a WebDAV/Cloud method just for those Users since they were unable to Map drives to anything on the Office Servers from their Home Internet even when using a VPN.
When Windows 8.0 became the only version available, I added a few users whose new laptops came with 8.0 from the vendors. While there were a very few minor problems, for all practical
purposes, I was still able to provide access to the mapped folders.
As the Windows 8.1 roll-out progressed, some users were successfully upgraded while others are still stuck in Windows 8.0. The issues with this seem to be hardware related and vary
depending on the Make and model of the laptop. I have been assured that eventually all of these will be able to advance to 8.1. But this delay has given me an excellent mixed OS environment for testing.
On the users who have not yet purchased new equipment and who are still using Windows 7. There has been no change. Their drive mapping is stable and they can always connect as usual.
Those blocked from lack of port 445 or still blocked. Systems inside the Office and those with ISP's who allow port 445 can use all mapped drives as normal.
Users who had Windows 8.0 and who have not yet been able to upgrade to 8.1 also have been unaffected. Same results as Windows 7.
Users who got the Windows 8.1 upgrade as well as those that came factory loaded with Windows 8.1 seem to be a never-ending list of problems. The ones that came native with 8.1 are worst
of all. The list of error codes runs through everything that has to do with “communication with the server”. As far as I have seen, this appears to be the issue.
Whether they are in the office on a wired network connection or at home on a Wi-Fi connection, the issues have the same results but the actual error codes may vary slightly. All of
them refer back to an inability to communicate with the server.
Nothing on the server has changed in any way. Users with Windows 7 continue to have zero problems, Users with Windows 8.0 seem to be doing fine as well. Only those with Windows
8.1 are affected and their problems are dramatic with everything from a total loss of drive mapping to misdirected data when the maps are active.
I have tried to make the drives automatically remap on reboot. I have tried registry modifications. I have done everything I can think of to make a difference but the results are the same
for every system using 8.1. The mapped drive letters invariably disappear. Sometimes while the system is in use ( I think I have been able to trace this to times when the system enters Sleep or Hibernate) but always when the system reboots.
One detail that might point to somewhere is that the "time to connect" when mapping the drive is so long that I believe some of the original failures were due to not waiting for a
minimum of 3 or 4 minutes to give time for the Shares to show-up in order to map them. Once the mapping is successful, the file access speed seems normal. But invariably, the drive becomes "unmapped" repeatedly each day.
I know this was a long question but I have tried to provide every possible detail for anyone who has experienced events like this who may already have a solution. I would even be glad
to purchase a 3rd party application if that is what it takes to get this to work. My next planned effort is to try using Server 2013 but I am afraid that might open another can of worms for those who still use Windows 7.
I have also been told that this is in some way related to the push to "Cloud" support in Windows 8.1 OS but I do not see where this would come in. I can say that this was the
one place where things continued to work as before. People who had Windows 8.1 and who had to use the CLOUD copies of our data are still able to connect to it with no problems.
Any suggestions appreciated. Preferably those that would not need extensive changes to the basic network structure. This "workgroup" consists of less than 25 users and any
extreme measures would be hard to justify

Hi，
I sugget you try to ping server so that we can verify the connectivity.
Can windows 8.1 access Windows Server 2008R2?
Also,please check the event viewer to see if some error log appeared when the issue occurred.

Problem using file sharing and screen sharing in Leopard

I have Mac OS 10.5 Leopard installed on 4 computers in a Home Network and have a problem with sharing files and using screen sharing. Here is my setup.
MacBook Pro with my logon ID
MacBook Pro with my fiancee's logon ID
Mac Mini with both of our logon ID's
Mac Pro with both of our logon ID's
The problem I have is I am able to access the Mac Mini computer where we have an external Hard Drive connected for data. She is also able to access it. The only problem is we have it set up to only share this external USB drive. Yet for both of us it shares the external drive along with the internal Macintosh HD. Fortunately this is not a very big deal but since I'm not sharing all those drives why is it doing this?
Also, I am able to connect from the Mac Mini for example to my MBP and vice versa for screen sharing along with file sharing. Yet if she tries to connect to the Mac Pro from her MBP and vice versa it won't. It simply times out and will never connect for screen sharing or file sharing but yet the Finder shows the Mac Pro. We have a 2nd hard drive in the Mac Pro which is the one set up for file sharing. I am also unable to connect to the Mac Pro's HD. Everything appears to be set up correctly. For my MBP on the Finder it shows the Mac Pro but once again I am unable to connect to it for screen sharing or file sharing.
Also, not sure if it's related but even for her MBP she is unable to connect to it from any other computer in our network although it's set up for file sharing and screen sharing so I'm not sure if it's related to her logon ID. Then again as mentioned above neither of us can connect to the Mac Pro.
I tried to make the above sound as simple as possible. I am relatively new to networking and of course Leopard but even on the Mac Pro all settings sound the same as on the Mac Mini where we can both connect to. The only big difference is on the Mini we are connect to a USB external drive, on the Mac Pro an internal drive. Is there something I could have overlooked or are there known issues with Leopard's sharing features?
We both have .mac but since we are using this on an internal network (some wi-fi, some wired, all through an Airport Base Station Extreme) I would think this has nothing to do with Back to my Mac.
I appreciate any help with the above.

Problems sharing and transmitting Keynote 6 files?

I am using Keynote 6, and my colleagues are sometimes on Keynote 5. I receive a key5 file fine, and can edit it, save it, etc. However when I try sharing it on box.net, it fails to upload and sync. When I go to email it via gmail, the attachment is flagged as insecure as in a binary file. Saving the key5 file without editing it, the file can be shared and sent as attachment. It only fails when Keynote 6 opens, and saves it to disk.

Getting Keynote Presentation to Open Files in Dropbox -- on iPhone 5
I'm trying to view (latest version of) Keynote files already uploaded into Dropbox, on my iPhone 5 which now is running both Keynote and Dropbox.
When I view my Dropbox files on my iPhone, all the ones now labeled as .key show as 0.00B of content, but every other file format opens just fine (.jpg, .png).
When I'm on my Macbook Pro and view Dropbox, my .key files now click through to only .jpgs, metadata and index.zip but no actual Keynote presentation. Note: Someone else uploaded their Keynote into this Dropbox and I'm just trying to access it correctly.
What am I doing wrong?
I've read about changing index.zip files to .key, and I've tried this on my laptop, but these won't open on my laptop either -- which also has Keynote.
I MUST have a mobile slideshow from Keynote screens on my iPhone 5 by Monday for a deadline, and this is creating a real problem for me.
Any immediate help appreciated.
Thanks,

Windows Sharing and resource fork problems

Hello, I am into my second month of Mac ownership and today I tried to enable Windows Sharing to allow a PC here to map to the Mac and share files.
I enabled the Windows Sharing feature in the System Preferences. Then I tried to map to the mac using the PC (Win XP). The PC sat there for a while (maybe about 30 secs or so) trying to connect, then displayed an error message saying a semaphore timed out (I don't remember it exactly).
Anyway, I went back into System Preferences and all the options for Sharing were greyed out. I couldn't turn off or turn on anything!!
So I looked in the console log and found the following errors:
2006-08-30 18:12:40.119 System Preferences[15066] [NOTE: this exception originated in the server.]
couldn't fork

2006-08-30 18:54:23.310 System Preferences[21650] hardwareCheckThread got an exception name:NSInternalInconsistencyException reason:couldn't fork
In the System log there are a whole bunch of these messages:
Aug 30 18:11:23 localhost kernel[0]: proc: table is full
I went into the Terminal and tried to get to a command prompt but it just sat there with a blank screen.
So I shut a bunch of apps I had open down only keeping Firefox open and I searched online for issues regarding this error - found information telling me I could kill the smbd processes and up the max proc limit.
After waiting a while (didn't want to reboot - I'm stubborn :-)), reopened Terminal and could see the command prompt. But anything I tried to do regarding killing the smbd processes or even doing a directory listing or a process listing gave the error: fork: resource temporarily unavailable
So I just waited it out - eventually I was able to kill the smbd processes. After I did that, I went back into System Preferences and was able to work with the Sharing preferences again (I disabled Windows Sharing).
And after all that, here is my question(s):
- is this problem going to keep happening when I turn on Windows Sharing and a PC tries to map to the Mac?
- do I need to up the process limit if I'm going to turn on Windows Sharing?
- is there a bug/issue I don't know about regarding this and a fix?
- and last but not least, am I doing something wrong?
Thank you for your help.

There were some Macbook/SMB specific problems that suppossedly got fixed with the 10.4.6 update, but I'd try the 10.4.7 Combo Update, as Deltas have more problems.

My Apple TV is slow and disconnects after the latest update (5.1). It seems to effect both home sharing and through the net. Is there a known problem?

Hi Scott.
There is a problem - but Apple have not acknowledged it. Many people on these forums are experiencing the same issue.
To get something done, you should report it here. The more of us that tell Apple about it, the more likely they are to fix it. You could also send a short email headed 'Apple TV update problems' to

Family sharing and iTunes credit

hi all,
my partner has set up family sharing and I have joined it. I understand that one credit card is used for all members (although I think this somewhat daft). My problem is that I only ever really use iTunes vouchers. I have just trie to purchase a film and it is telling me the family sharing organiser needs to authorise my purchases for the joint payment method. Firstly I don't want to use the joint payment method, my iTunes credit covers the cost and secondly I don't want to have to wait for someone to accept something every time I want to make a purchase, but I do want to share my puchases. Is there any way around this and when she accepts it is it going to use my store credit?
thank you for your comments.

This is my account info for iTunes & AppStore:
This is the payment info in iCloud Family Sharing settings:
Obviously I was able to change the payment info in iTunes/App Store. What do I have to do to make that carry over to iCloud?

Home Sharing and Airplay: fall 2011 major trouble in iTunes to APTV, IOS devices - detailed run-through.

Dear all, and dear Apple - as you know flagged trouble regarding Home Sharing to devices and to APTV has grown exponentially this fall and it is high time Apple calmly regained control over the situation. Get a grip, this is a fundamental "it just works" reputational issue.
Having read lots of community posts I am struck by how many crosschecks I have done and still cannot get Home Sharing to ´just work´ anymore.
Symptoms of my troubles include:
(1) In iTunes the Home Sharing house icon is nowhere to be found on the left hand side even though I have turned it on several times.
(2) Airplay icon was visible in the lower right corner of iTunes for about two minutes last night but then vanishes.
(3) My iPhone4S cannot find my shared library (under "More" or anywhere else).
(4) And APTV will occationally load my Mac library to play a purchased tv episode but is highly unstable. 1 in 4 attempts succesful.
Ah, you say, "this all sounds like your home network is either faulty or the signal is not strong enough", or "you have not set up Home Sharing right".
OK, let´s see...
The Airport Extreme station is right next to APTV, and is itself connected via ethernet to my router - and besindes my Mac can still find a strong signal via wifi. I access internet on my wifi-only iPad2 easily throughout the house, nice and strong signal. The APTV menu tells me the signal strength is excellent, and, most importantly - it worked a couple of weeks ago with no change in settings. I played my iTunes Library on my iPhone via Home Sharing, and I watched APTV TV episodes streamed from my Mac upstairs.
So far I have triple-checked the following settings:
Home Sharing on my Mac turned on under Advanced? yes. (House icon appears - until I press the "Done" button, then it vanishes).
Even though the House icon is nowhere to be found, is Home Sharing still "On" under iTunes Advanced setting? yes.
Under Preferences, Sharing, all ticks are carefully turned on? yes.
APTV Home Sharing: the same ID details, correctly entered? yes. And for a little while, or on occation we have access to my library on APTV (but not the other mobile devices). Then it vanishes again (Computer menu on APTV telling me to turn on Home Sharing with ID etc.)
Mobile devices, under Settings/Music, are the Home Sharing details the same as those on your Mac/iTunes? yes.
All software on APTV, iTunes, OIS and Lion up to date? yes, as of 18/12 2011. For iTunes I have 10.5.2 (11)
I also reset Factory Settings on my APTV, which enabled us to watch a TV episode last night, but this morning it is gone again.
Within limits of how many devices I can share my library or iTunes with ? yes, 2 computers are authorised on my ID, and 3 devices are authorised on iCloud (iPad2, iPhone 4S and this Mac).
Have you tried the degrading, not-up-to-Apple-standard way of unplugging APTV/Airport Extreme/Mac power, and restarting your iPad/iPhone4S? Yes.
Does Airplay work from devices to e.g. APTV? yes it does.
Can I access the internet or rent a movie on APTV? yes.
Is this a strength issue with my Mac? Is my Mac fast/strong enough? Yes; it is a 3.06Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, running 8GB/1067 MHz/DDR3. 100GB of available harddrive space.
Dear community - what have I forgotten to do, please? Any ideas?
And Apple: please help your repeat customers with these issues - clearly there are some room for improvement here!?
Regards and best wishes for the Season.

I seem to have a similar problem. I have a Macbook and a PC, both running the current version of iTunes. On the APTV (also running the current software version), only my Macbook library shows up under "computers". Home Sharing is turned on for both and my Macbook library shows up under "Shared" on the PC, but the PC iTunes library doesn't show up on the Macbook or the APTV.
My question then is: How is it that my Macbook iTunes library can show up on the PC and on the APTV, but the PC iTunes library doesn't show up on either? If the PC can see the shared libraries, doesn't that mean it's on the same network? Along those same lines, "Shared" libraries do NOT show up on the Macbook. Again I ask, how is it that I can see the Macbook library on the PC, but the Macbook doesn't show any Shared libraries?
All of this worked just fine before the upgrade to iOS 5 by the way. I had no issues seeing any library on any devices and the APTV found both computers.
Please help. This is really annoying!

G4 Ti4600 VT2D8X - Locked games and other Problems

HELP!
I have been having problems with games locking up.
I looked at the MSI info in display properties and the card was checked at 4x, even though my bios setting of AGP compatability 3.0 is listed as 8X. It wouldn't let me check the 8X box.
So I downloaded the latest generic Nvidia driver (ver 44.03), and unfortunately, this cuased more problems.
Now I can't view the MSI info or MSI clock in display properties. I keep getting an XP error that says, "Run a DLL as an App has encountered a problem and needs to close"
Now mo matter how many times I uninstall the xp drivers and put the old one back in, I keep getting this error message trying to view MSI info in display properties.
When my games lock, threre isn't any sound loops happening, but the game freezes visually. I don't think I have a sound card conflict but here are my resources for you to take a look.
(ISA) 0 System Timer
(ISA) 1 Standard Keyboard
(ISA) 3 COM2
(ISA) 4 COM1
(ISA) 6 Standard Floppy Disk Controller
(ISA) 8 System CMOS/real time clock

Should I be concerned about the sound card sharing an irq with the host controller on IRQ 17?
Also here is my system:

Intel P4 2.8 Ghz processor
you know the video card
CL SB Audigy 2 sound card
2 sticks of 512k PC2700 DDR ram
OS: XP
Also for the fun of it, I used Live update, only to notice that it detected a new driver for me to download for the Ti4800 card. Why does it not recognize my card?
Someone please help.

Richard and gfilitti,
Thank you very much for your continued help. This really means a lot to me.
Richard I do not use an antivirus program or a firewall program in the background for that matter.
The only other thing in my sys tray besides nview is a creative console. could that be locking things up?
gfilitti,
I acutally dsabled that firewire right after I listed my irq's to test that out. It's still disabled and doesn't seem to help the problem.
Is it a necessity that I disable system restore before using drivercleaner? If so I will do it, but would like to think the program would work as normal without doing that. Also not exactly certain where to disable the system restore.
So by having 10-second lock up issues, is it safe to say that I don't have any hardware conflicts or potential ram conflicts? There are no irq's being shared and I don't want to pull memory chips if you already know that's not the problem. I think I am getting close to ending this nightmare. Please help.
Thank you!!!!!!!!

I turned on home sharing, and it doesn't show up in my library. I tried switching it off and it still won't show up. I know other itunes are open and they don't show up in my itunes. What do I need to do? I have the newest version of itunes

I have the latest version of itunes. I turned on the home sharing, and it asked for my ID and everything and it said it loaded. Then I went to open another library up and I don't know if the library is available to me. How do I get to the other library from my computer? I'm using the same home sharing username and password, but i don't see it. The other library has the latest version as well.

If you click View, Show Sidebar you will see the other libraries under Shared in the left hand column. Click on the Library you want and you can expand it to select Music, Movies etc. Select whatever items you want and click import if you want to move them to your Library.
You will have to have all computers authorised with the relevant Apple ID's
Store > Authorise this computer...
This is separate from the Home Sharing username and password and is to allow playing of DRM Movies, TV shows etc from the other computer.
If both Computers use the same apple id this step is not required.

How do I set up file sharing and keep my Firewall on?

When I turned my Firewall on, I lost the ability to share files and screens on my LAN. When I looked at the advanced settings, I saw that File Sharing, Screen Sharing and Web Sharing were already set to Allow incoming connections but other, related, services, AppleFileServer, httpd, kdc, netbiosd, and screensharingd were set to block incoming connections. I reset the latter to allow incoming connections but was still unable to access my computer from another. Once I turned off the Firewall, I was able to access file sharing and screensharing from another computer on my LAN.
I have a firewall built into my external router so I have some protection but I still feel uncomfortable with the Firewall on my computer turned off.
When my firewall is on even with setting up to allow incoming connections, there are lots of console messages like:
1/8/12 3:00:00.882 PM Firewall: Deny netbiosd data in from 192.168.1.2:51619 to port 137 proto=17
They go away as soon as I turn off the firewall.
I did not find the Apple technical article "Set firewall access for services and applications" at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh18503.html useful at all.
Any ideas as to what is wrong?

I normally have a Firewall enabled. I recently had to do an erase and install of Lion, followed by a one-by-one re-install of all of my software. One of the first things I did was to set up all of my System Preferences the way I like them; Turning the Firewall on was one of them. Later I noticed it was off and turned it on again. I had already set up sharing and was surprised to see the problem when I turned it back on.
As to why do I think it needs to be on. It is another part of my security layer.

XP pro file sharing and guest password - how to enable guest password?

Hi,
I want to share files between two Windows XP pro computers. I would also like that these shares can only be accessed with a password.
Here's a description of my setup:
I have two laptops: over 1 yo Fujitsu-Siemens (FS) running on Windows XP pro (finnish) and a brand new Thinkpad T61 (TP) running on Windows XP pro (english). Both of theses computers have guest account enabled and these accounts have also been password protected. FS's guest account is called "vieras" because of the language settings and TP's guest account is of course just "guest". Guest account passwords have been enabled using "net user <user name> *".
I've disabled simple file sharing on both computers, set shared folder permission to only contain these users: TP - "Guest (TP\Guest)" and FS - "Vieras (FS\Vieras)". Both computers have F-secure on them so I've made firewall rules which enable following services both ways to a specific IP: Ping / ICMP echo request and reply ; Windows file sharing and network printers ; Windows network browsing ; ICMP / Internet Control Message Protocol. I've also enabled these services on Windows firewall.
These computers can connect to each other either via Wi-Fi access point (b-mode) or directly using an ad-hoc Wi-Fi configuration (g-mode). Obviously the latter is used for more bandwidth hungry file transfers. Also, sometimes a cross-over Ethernet cable is used as well for even faster file transfers.
Everything on my setup works just fine except just one thing. I connect to a shared resource by running the computer's IP address. When I connect from TP to FS it prompts for username and password. FS accepts both english and finnish names for the guest account provided that the password is correct. But here's the problem... When connecting from FS to TP _no password or username prompt appears_. If I browse TP's shared folder sessions (under My Computer -> manage) I can see that FS is logged on as "vieras" i.e. FS's guest account.
Since I enabled FS's network shares over a year a go I can't remember everything I did to make it work. Every relevant configuration on TP and FS seem to be identical (e.g. "Security settings -> local policies -> security options -> Accounts: limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only -> enabled") but still TP accepts connections without password prompt.
I've tried to get TP's password prompts enabled for a while now without any success. I did a lot of searching on the subject but I could only find instructions on how to disable guest account password prompts for network shares.
Has anyone had similar experiences or does anyone know what I should try out next? Thanks...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Success!
I solved my problem by changing guest account passwords. I tried to keep things simple by using the same guest password on both computers. This however allowed FS to log on to TP without guest password for some unknown reason. My logic would tell me that having the same guest password would allow both computers to log in without password but this wasn't obviously the case. I guess Windows has its own logic that I can't figure out or this issue had something to do with different language setups. Anyhow my shares work now like I want them to work.
