Accessing multiple shared folders on windows XP Pro x64

by ucberkeley Feb 15, 2009 4:18AM PST

I am having a system with XP Pro x64 with multiple shared folders. Here is the setup. I have about 10 users (1 Admin account, 9 Limited accounts). I have created 10 folders for each User and modified them as shared folders with each user having access to their respective folders ONLY while the Admin account will have access to all folders. I have disabled 'Simple File Sharing', switched off Guest Account. Now I can view this system on other systems on the n/w. But the problem is, if I map a shared folder on one system, I was not able to map anymore on other systems and it gives error, 'the system can not accept multiple connections' in those lines.

Is this something of XP limitation or am I missing something else in the settings.

thanks

Do you mean to map only one folder with all folders in it??

Thanks for the reply. By root folder you mean the main folder in which all these are residing??, if so, I am not having any root folder. All the folders r created on the drive directly (D:\). Do you mean to create a main folder (say D:\BackUp) and then create all those 10 folders within this folder while keeping the sharing access permissions to be the same and map D:\BackUp??

I may have intepretted completely wrong. Could you please lemme know in detail??

thanks

yep thats wht I mean, but just wanna make sure. Anyways I did the same on my home network, created a bunch of users with the same access permissions as my other setup and it worked without a hitch. So, I might have done something wrong on my other setup. Will check it tomm.

How to clear n/w username/passwords

by ucberkeley Feb 17, 2009 3:12AM PST

Is there a way to clear stored network usernames/passwords that are used to access network shares etc. I tried doing it from User accounts and also from command prompt using net use * /d. But the system is still able to access a n/w system and is able to display all the folders on it without prompting for username/password.

Any help is really aprreciated...

thanks
