As said, in a peer-to-peer scenario like this, you need the same user name and password set on both machines. You can log in as different users on each machine, but the accounts must exist on the machines you want to access.
example: user1 is "primary" user on machine1 with pass Abc123 user2 is "primary" user on machine2 with pass Xyz789 (primary, in that is the user that you usually log into that particular machine). For user1 to access machine2, an account with the same name (user1) and password (Abc123) must also exist on machine2. That is, if you want it to be seamless. You *can* map a network drive, and select "connect as another user", and enter in the credentials for user2. I use that method when my computer is logged in as a user without a password (guest account). Also, RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is a great tool, but the remote machine (the one you want to be headless) must be running XP Pro (or Windows 2000 server or Server 2003). XP Home only supports remote assistance, and not on demand connections. -- GlennT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GlennT's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10243 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35072 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
