Hello,


1. . The Windows XP workstation must be part of a domain, or guest-level share access must be disabled. Please refer to the Related Documents section for more information regarding Windows XP and disabling of force guest (guest-level share access).


2. Disable the force guest configuration on the windows XP machine:
