Q: When using Windows explorer, I can't access other user's folders.
A: You have the same user name for your Windows log in as one of
Bubba's users. Windows assumes that you want to log in as that user,
and denies access to other users folders. There are two workarounds:
1) Change user name for either your windows account, or the user
account at Bubba.
2) Mount the device with user credentials. In windows XP - explorer,
choose Tools -> Map Network Drive. Enter \\bubba\home\ as address,
and click 'Connect using a different user name'. Type your login options.
Thanks to Björn for the tip!
Q: I can't access printers from XP home, without first connecting to
\\home\user\ and giving my password.
A: This is a known issue with XP Home, the SMB authentication doesn't
work as in XP Pro, and won't give unauthorized access to Bubbas
printer. We can't solve this problem unfortunately, only present a
workaround:
Option 1)
Before printing, access any user’s home folder and type your user name
and password upon request. Now it works to print.
Option 2)
Add a startup script to your machine, accessing something on Bubba,
with user credentials.
