Hi, I'm just re-visiting to bring those interested up to date.

All is not total sweetness & light but I have moved forward quite a way.

I still cannot create a new account on the one PC - and...

Having done a litle more testing - now that my memory about Net Use has been jogged :)

I can confirm that when the C: drive on the Server is mapped as K:, both in the CMD window and in File...

Ah. . . the share name is simply C

using 'C' in the CMD - it returns completed sucessfully without asking for a password

I have just had a further look in the [Sharing] on the [Server] and...

Thanks for the input Pentagon but the responce came back as "System error 67 has occured. The network name cannot be found"

I must say that it's a long time since I last used 'Net Use' :)) and...

Server = 192.168.1.22 --- Desktop-JSFP1GJ
Slave = 192.168.1.24 --- Desktop-EKI902T

Pre-empting your next question :) - - - -

Master = 192.168.1.20 --- Orders-Master
Client =...

Thanks Denis,

As you'll appreciate, I've not yet found the 'Tutorial' thread - that's a job for this afternoon :) along with reading other links you've mentioned!

I'm having some difficulty...

Thanks Denis,

Thanks again for your input Denis. I assumed that it would be possible (to add 'Local' Account) but I couldn't see an option. I'll review your link - - - but maybe not tonight :) - The Duvet Calls...

I agree with your principle Pentagon but I'm taking over the responsibility for two PCs (the old Server & Client [C] & [D]) which were set up by 'A,N. Other' some time ago and only had Drive C:...

Thanks Denis, I did start a reply at about 6:30pm but had a call from my client saying I could gain access to the site so that I could set up remote access and I've only just got back.

I had some...

Thanks for that 'Pointer' Hearsepilot.

In all my years dealing with Windows PCs I can't say that I've ever seen [Credentials Manager] - just shows that there are parts of 'Windows' that get used...

In an Ideal world - I absolutely agree - that is how my own network is organised, unfortunately there is a legacy issue with the new network that I've been asked to 'update' but I may well take the...

Thanks for your concern Samuria - I am aware of the potential security issues and will (once this connection problem is solved) turn off all [shares] that are not needed for the day-to-day running of...

Thanks Pentagon - I'm sure that might be useful but, regrettably, it is far to cryptic for my small brain to fathom.:confused:

Thanks for your input but (as you may well imagine :) ) I've been down that route - Many Times :)

All 4 PCs are using the same [Private] network setting.

There was a time during testing that I...

You may notice that I seem to have a similar (Identical?) problem (see my thread above)

Your suggestion does logically appear to be a potential solution but I have no idea where I might access...

Thanks, I hope that I can not only learn from the wisdom available but also maybe contribute to the knowledgebase :)

My thread in Networking as yet has no replies and I'm finding it difficult to...

Hi - my first post so please excuse any silly issues :)

I've recently installed two new PC's for a customer adding them to the existing network. I had previously tested both on my own network...

Hi, although I've been involved in computing since 1980 this is the first time I've needed detailed support - specifically with a networking problem. I'll start a thread - hopefully in the...
