Hi folks. First let me say that I have tried to solve my issue by reading
through previous posts but as yet have had no luck, so i hope someone can
help me.

I am running a home network with a dektop and a laptop, connected directly
by Cat5 cable. The desktop connects to the internet via internal dial-up
modem.

The desktop is running XP Home and the laptop XP Pro. Both are updated to
the hilt. Desktop was previously running McAfee PF+ but it has been
uninstalled. After reading a previous thread I found and followed
instructions for a deeper manual uninstall.

I have run the home networking wizard about 300 times. ICS works fine.
Desktop can see shared folders on Laptop, but Laptop cannot see any shared
folders, or the printer, on Desktop. If I try to map a network drive nothing
comes up under Desktop, and if i right-click and choose Open I get the
following message:

"\\Desktop is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if
you have access permissions.

Logon failu the user has not been granted the requested logon type at
this computer."

Hope you can help. Let me know if there is any further info you need.

MJ,

If the computer that can't be accessed runs Windows XP Home:

1. Download and install the Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit Tools from
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=4544.

2. Click Start | All Programs | Windows Resource Kit Tools | Command Shell.

3. Type these lines at the command prompt. The second and third commands are
case-sensitive, so type them exactly as shown. Note the "+r" in the second one
and the "-r" in the third one:

net user guest /active:yes
ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u Guest

If the computer that can't be accessed runs Windows XP Professional:

1. Click Start - Run, type "secpol.msc" in the box, and click OK.
2. Click Local Policies.
3. Click User Rights Assignment.
4. Check "Access this computer from the network", and make sure that the
Everyone group is included.
5. Check "Deny access to this computer from the network", and make sure that the
Everyone group is NOT included.

Thanks Chuck, I think we are making progress. After following your
instructions (the non-accessible computer is running XP Home), the second
part of the error message in my original post now just says "Access is
denied." The first part is still the same.

OK, "access denied" on XP Home is simple.

Make sure that the Guest account is enabled. Enable Guest, with Start - Run -
"cmd", then type "net user guest /active:yes" in the command window. Ensure
that the password for Guest is blank, with Start - Run - "control
userpasswords2"; select Guest, click Reset Password, click OK without entering a
new password.

Once Guest is enabled, make sure there are no misbehaving or misconfigured
firewalls.

Followed your instructions, but still getting the same message.

Using Simple File Sharing (and using Advanced File Sharing, with Guest
authentication) is pretty simple, and only a couple things to check.
- Guest account enabled, with identical (or null) password, on both computers.
- All firewalls properly configured, or removed.

Did you enable Guest, and reset the password, on both computers?

If no help yet, provide ipconfig information for each computer, and we'll start
diagnosing the problem.
Start - Run - "cmd" - Type "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window. Open Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is NOT checked!, open
file c:\ipconfig.txt, copy and paste entire contents into your next post.
Identify operating system (by name, version, and SP level) with each ipconfig
listing.
