Cannot access shares on R2 from XP workstation

[Guest Bobson]

Hi all,

 

Thank you for your help in advance. Little urgent as it is for my Police

Depart... the most demandging one :)

 

Here is the situation.

 

I have a R2 app server joined the domain. I can ping it by the name from a

pc. I also have XP workstation joined the domain here. DNS settings are

correctly setup on both clients and server. If I tried to access the R2 from

a workstation by typing \\WindowsR2\share_name (or just \\windowsR2), it

would tell you an error message saying The account is not authorized to log

in from this workstation. I believe the workstation is up-to-date. I think

this is the same to the R2 as well. What this happen? and how to solve it?

 

I make sure it is in a right OU.

 

One funny thing is that I have a laptop which is not joined the domain...

but just in a workgroup. But from there, I CAN access to the R2. After typing

in the \\windowsR2\sharename, it would pop up a logon windows then I typed in

my domain log on info and it would work.

 

Why?? Thank you for your help.
