| All that I want to do here, is when someone tries to connect to my computer(a shared folder), a user/password box pops up. Essentially a "logon as" box.
-Simple file sharing is off
-Drive(s) are all NTFS
-The permissions are setup the way I want them: A local user that will be used to connect remotely. In this case, lan/lan. Thats it.
When I try to connect, it simply says that I do not have permissions to the share. I don't want to have to physically make a user on the remote computer, kinda ignores the point of the password, sorta.
I've seen it done many times, I just can't figure out where that one checkbox I'm probably missing is.

| Right-click the shared folder on that remote computer and select "Sharing and Security". In the Permissions section, make sure the Everyone group has at least Read permissions.

| That allows the remote computer to go straight in, no password needed.

| Windows XP works with user level security. Access to resources is controlled by the access list associated with the user account. If you want to use the old share level security, you need to use 9x or ME or use some third party software.

| All operating systems on the NT kernel support user level security. Operating systems of the DOS kernel support share level security.

No it doesn't. It just handles permissions once the remote user has connected to the share; it doesn't control initial access permissions. As long as you don't have identical accounts, you'll be prompted for a username and password, even if you give "Everyone" Full Control on the share.
When will you NOT be asked for a password?
- If both computers are currently logged on with accounts that are on the same level (Administrators, Power Users or Users) AND the account on the computer you are trying to access a remote share with exists on the remote computer as well
- If both computers have identical Administrator accounts and the computer you are trying to access a remote share with is currently IN its Administrator account
Example of the first...
THIS computer has the following accounts:
Admin, password "nopass"
Usah1, level "Power Users", password "Illbedamned"
Usah2, level "Power Users", password "whatever"
Currently logged in under Usah1.
REMOTE computer has the following accounts:
Admin, password "nopass2"
Usah1, level "Power Users", password "Illbedamned"
Usah2, level "Power Users", password "whatever"
Currently logged in under Usah2.
--> THIS computer has access to a share on REMOTE computer and vice versa, because they are on the same level (Power Users) AND both accounts exist on both computers.
Example of the second...
THIS computer has:
Admin2, password "heh"
Currently logged in with that account because it's the only one.
REMOTE computer has:
Admin2, password "heh"
Usah3, level "Users", password "ohmygod"
Currently logged in under Usah3.
--> Normally, THIS computer would not have access to the REMOTE because they are not in the same user account level at the moment, but an Administrator account is an exception to this rule provided that an identical Administrator account exists on the remote computer, which is the case here.
So let's turn this around now....
What do you need to avoid?
Identical user accounts, but that applies to the Administrator account as well.
