revisiting the anonymous browse issue

[Brian Henning]

Hi Deann,
   Yep, tried that.  Didn't help.  Although I didn't know about the 
right-clicking Security Settings to reload it; I just rebooted after the 
change.  But yeah.  I did everything possible, enabling the ones that 
said anything about "allow anonymous" and disabling the ones that said 
anything about "deny anonymous", and even putting the desired shares in 
the list of "Allow anonymous access to these shares"..  To no avail. 
The only thing that fixed it was the set of steps I posted yesterday 
afternoon.

Thanks for chiming in though!

Cheers,
~Brian
