Re: Cannot access shared files on Servers

Hi there, I have almost the same problem

I am running Windows server 2003 SBE SP2 with 8 winXP pro SP2 and 7 mac pc’s on a domain. I installed the server and created map drives for the users. Everything worked fine until 4 days ago. The Mac pc’s can see the map drives and access them but not the windows pc. When I connect my laptop running windows XP Pro (not part of the domain) I can go to the server type a username and password and connect to the shear folders with no problem.

With the Windows XP pro pc’s on the domain I can’t even use the Admin user and password to access the server.

Even though it appears you're having the same problem, please start a new thread when you have a new issue. It's very difficult to keep two problems straight and who's working on what in a single thread.

I've created a new thread for your issue here.

Note: You will need to post complete details of your configuration and your specific issue in this new thread for us to help you.

Thanks for your cooperation.
