I am using win2k professional as a stand alone server on a small network. I have several directories shared with tight security but I have one directory which I would like essentially everyone to be able to access. I have tried adding the "everyone" permission to the share for that directory but the system won't let anyone but people who have specific username/passwords listed on the server have access to the server much less any directory.

What am I leaving out?

Thanks
 

I think you have to enable the "guest" account to be able to do it that way, though I am not entirely sure but this does sound like something I messed with a while back.

Good luck!
