Re:W2K (NT too) doesn't assign IDs or passwords to a share.
There are users defined to each machine. The share point (resource) checks with it's authentication service (NTLogon on the server) to see if the user is correct (ID/pword), then it checks the ACL on the resource, to see what rights the user has (Read, write, change, etc..)
Hope this helps

Re:This is a peer-to-peer network. I use GUI (windows explorer) to connect. I'm using the same ID and password for the shared folders. Are you suggesting me try diffreent ID/pwd? i guesss i'm logging in the two PC w/ same ID, I will try change one of them.
Thanks for the reply.

Re:Not a network problem. W2K passes over the current logged in credentials, unless you specifically tell it connect as some other ID. If the ID/password don't match at the target (share) then you should get a prompt. Are you using the GUI to connect or command-line?
The SHARE that you're connecting to, has an Access Control List, of who's allowed to connect through that share. If the folder that is shared is on an NTFS formatted drive, the folder can also have an ACL, seperately from the share.
Based on what you said, I would check:
1. Are the IDs identical?
2. Are the passwords identical (case-sensitive)?
3. This is peer networking, right? No domain or Active Directory?
