Map a Network Drive in Windows XP Pro
If you have trouble mapping a network drive to another computer running Windows XP (i.e. – keeps throwing up the login prompt) try these steps.
1. Make sure you are connecting as a user that is in the administrators group on the remote machine.
2. Open Windows Explorer on the remote XP computer, click the “Tools” menu, click on “Folder Options”, click on the “View” tab, scroll down, and uncheck “Use simple file sharing”.
