Ensure That Windows Firewall Does Not Block File and Printer Sharing
If Converter Standalone fails to connect to a remote Windows XP machine and issues a bad username/password
error message, ensure that file and printer sharing is not blocked by Windows Firewall.
Procedure
1 Select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy.
2 In the Security Settings list to the left, select Local Policies > Security Options.
3 In the policies list to the right, select Network access: Sharing and Security model for local accounts.
4 Verify that Classic – local users authenticate as themselves is selected.
What to do next
For troubleshooting information about file and printer sharing, see the Microsoft TechNet Web site.
Turn Off Simple File Sharing on Windows XP Professional
To control permissions for individual users, you must turn off Simple File Sharing. Turning Simple File Sharing
off does not turn off the Shared Documents feature. Use the Simple File Sharing UI, located in the folder’s
properties, to configure share and file permissions.
For Windows XP Professional operating systems joined to a workgroup, the Simple File Sharing UI is turned
on by default. Windows XP Professional operating systems joined to a domain use only the classic file sharing
and security interface.
Procedure
1 Select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Folder Options.
2 Click the View tab and deselect Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended).
For additional information about turning simple file sharing on or off, see the Microsoft TechNet Web site.
