Saring files and printers

sounds like you are not running a domain .... in that case, all users and their passwords have to be present in the machine that that is sharing the device.... OR that password & user needs to be saved for future use..

example..

try to map a drive.. in windows 2000, there is the option to "Connect using a different user name" select that, and you will see microsoft's message just above the boxes for a user and password...

"By default, you will connect to the network folder as *machine name\username*. To connect as another user, enter their user name and password below."

it says folder in that dialog box, but devices are the same concept.. it requires a VALID user to access the device.. if the computer that is sharing the device doesn't have that user listed, it won't be able to share.

one thing you CAN do, is try adding anonymous and guest to the printer.. the problem is that leaves the printer open to MORE than just the users on that one network!

Thanks TG2. I know to add new User same like at other machine, but why one computer I access the other I can not without Uname/Pass? All servers runung Lunux. Perhaps ar problem in configuration at Linux. New computer at same place, same IP, new name. Could bee this a Problem?
This problem I don't want to have at future therefore I have to solve a problem, because i do't want to make 5-10 new users at sharing local printer computers. There are too many computers with sharing local printers.
