Win 2000 Pro vs XP HomeHi,
I have XP Home SP3 and am trying to backup it up from a remote computer in a workgroup. It does not allow access to several folders and files when I do so. I do have a CD of Win 2000 Pro that has never been used. Would it be advisable to switch to 2000? Would the security be too big an issue? Will it allow better access? Thanks, Fred "Frederick R.

I suggest you repost in WindowsXP.general and supply full details about what you're trying to do and what exactly your problems are. I did make a post in XP General, but I cannot find it. Maybe it was deleted
because I posted a similar one a while back. What is best for me to do, please, Pegasus?

unless they are of an offensive nature. Since your current issue relates very much to the way Windows XP Home handles file sharing and access permissions, your best bet is to repost there. Windows 2000 is quite different in this regard. Show quoteHide quote "Frederick R.

How did you configure the XP machines, all having the same user account/password in the same workgroup name? Is any firewall running and blocking access? What error message do you get when trying to open a share on a remote machine? How are you connecting between the machines?
