Re: [gentoo-user] Can't browse WinXP shares from gentoo

[Ben Blount]

Go onto your roommates box and turn administrative tools on the start menu. Then go to Administrative tools, Local Security Policy. From there go to Local Policy - Security Options. In the right view, find Network Access: Sharing and Security for Local Accounts, then change that setting to Classic - local users authenticate as themselves. Also note the above setting where it shows which shares can be accessed anonymously.
