Guest account not working

Post by Underdog »

Hi all
<BR>
<BR>I have just installed WinXP Pro on m PC at work. Now I have the guest active active as I have a shared folder that users can access over the network.
<BR>
<BR>When the guest account is active I cannot access my PC from any other PC on the network, inculding 2000 and XP PC´s using the C$ route. If I disable the guest account I can access my PC from 2000 and XP PC´s, but I have to log on with my credentials. And obviously 95/98 PC´s can´t access my PC whether the guest account is enabled or not.
<BR>
<BR>On my previous machine, I had WInXP Pro as well and I activated the guest account and everything was fine, so what is different now!?
<BR>
<BR>I would appreciate it if you guys could come up with a solution because I have reached the end of my knowledge.
