Permission question

I am having problem to access to a stand alone 2003 server
from any machine in a 2000 LAN. I need to have access to a
shared folder on 2003 server. This server is not a part of
a LAN, (its a WEB server). how can i set the permissions
so an individual user from the LAN access to that folder,
i dont want to set "everyone" permission. When I try to
set permission as domain\username it wont accept that.
Thanks for any help.

Dear Rob,

Thank you for your post.

It is by-design security behavior. Based on the current status, we can try
one of the following two methods:

1. Enable the Guest account on the member server.
2. Create accounts with the same user names and passwords as those of the
domain accounts.

Since the stand alone machine is a Web server, I recommend that you use the
second method, although it is a bit complicated and you will need to update
the accounts on the member server periodically if the domain accounts are
changed.

Please test the method and let me know if it works.

Thanks you and have a nice day!
