I got my 2000 working, thanks to help on this board, but I am having trouble with setting up permissions. I have a little experience with NT server, so I'm not a complete newb.
I have created a share, and it is visible in "My Network Places" (XP Home). I have created a user that shares my Windows username and password, and have made that user part of the Admin group. I have also created a username and password for my wife, and a group called "musiclisteners," and made her a member of that group. I set the share access permissions for the music share to allow full access for the Administrator group, and read-only access for the "musiclisteners" group.
The problem I am having is that the server doesn't authenticate the new username and password I created for myself. The "active users" screen shows this username under the HTTP network type but under the Microsoft network type, it shows a username that no longer exists (but that existed when I first set up the server). I may have confused it by changing my Windows username while I was still logged-in to the Snap. So now, it is still using the old username for Windows networking, and that user is a guest.
How do I get it to use my new Windows username and password for Windows networking on the Snap?
Do I need to somehow clear the old username out before it will use the new one? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks,
Dave
