Default Network settings ?

Hello,

I am running xp home on three home pc's. I use a belkin wireless dsl router
(2 computers wired and my laptop wireless) I can access the internet from all
three fine. I ran the network setup wizard and can see all three pc's in the
workgroup but can't access them. On the router setup screen i can see all
three pc's. The windows firewall is disabeled and file and print shareing are
enabeled on each pc. When ever I try to access one of the pc's via the
network it says i dont have permission and to contact the administrator.
Seeing as that I am the administrator where would I go to set the permissions?

I am seeking answers to the same issue. PCs get to the internet fine, but
can't see them in the Workgroup.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do the following (on all XP computers)

Click Start, click Run, type:
net user guest /active:yes (then hit enter or click OK)

next, Click Start, click Run, type:
regedit (then hit enter or click OK)
Go to this location in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\LSA

Ensure "RestrictAnonymous" is set to 0.

Close and reboot.

I did this on all 3 pc's but after I reboot them the value gets set back to
1. Is there a way to get it to stay at 0 ?

Thanks for all of your advice Carey it looks like your solving quite a bit
of peoples problems out there. I have been trying to figure this one out for
5 days now off and on

Try booting in Safe Mode, log in as Administrator, make the change and then
restart normally and see if the change sticks. If not, ensure you have no
firewall on like Norton Internet Security, McAfee firewall, Zero Knowledge
Freedom, ZoneAlarm, etc... uninstall them if you have them.

These tips should get everything working:

1. If the computers run the original or SP1 versions of Windows XP,
disable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on local area
network connections -- it's for use only on a direct modem connection
to the Internet. If they run SP2, enable the exception for file and
printer sharing in the Windows Firewall. Disable and un-install all
other firewall programs while troubleshooting. When un-installing a
firewall program, use the un-install procedure provided by the
manufacturer . Don't use Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs,
which might not completely un-install it.

For more information, see:

Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/...c_firewall.htm

2. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing. If the network
needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer Sharing from all
but one of them. Details he

Windows XP Network Protocols
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/..._protocols.htm

3. Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers.
Details he

Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT)
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/...hoot/netbt.htm

4. Run "ipconfig /all" on XP and look at the "Node Type" at the
beginning of the output. If it says "Peer-to-Peer" (which should
actually be "Point-to-Point") that's the problem. It means that the
computer only uses a WINS server, which isn't available on a
peer-to-peer network, for NetBIOS name resolution.

If that's the case, run the registry editor, open this key:

HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parame ters

and delete these values if they're present:

NodeType
DhcpNodeType

Reboot, then try network access again.

If that doesn't fix it, open that registry key again, create a DWORD
value called "NodeType", and set it to 1 for "Broadcast" or 4 for
"Mixed".

For details, see these Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:

Default Node Type for Microsoft Clients

Default Network settings ?

Hello again,

I booted all 3 in safe mode made the changes, and now both desktops can
access the laptop and vice versa. The desktops cannot access each other.
When I reopen HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\LSA the
value on all three pc's are still showing a 1. I have no firewall programs
installed, all 3 are win xp service pack 1, windows firewall is disabeled.
when I ran "net user guest /active:yes" it said it was completed
successfully on all 3 machines. NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabeled on all 3,
and all 3 can be seen in the same workgroup.

Thanks again for your time,

Steve,

Thanks for your reply. All settings are set up as suggested. Whe I run the
ipconfig /all command, under node type the desktops say "unknown" and the
laptop states "mixed" is the following how to fix it?

open that registry key, create a DWORD
value called "NodeType", and set it to 1 for "Broadcast" or 4 for
"Mixed".

Thanks for your time,

If the desktops are running XP Pro:

1. Click Start, click Run, type "secpol.msc" (without the quotes), and
click OK.

2. Click Local Policies, then Click User Rights Assignment

3. Click "Access this computer from the network" and make sure
that the Everyone group is included.

4. Click "Deny access to this computer from the network".

a. Make sure that the Everyone group is NOT included.

b. If simple file sharing is enabled, make sure that the Guest
account is NOT included.


Let me know if this helps,

Carey

You're welcome, Adam. Both "unknown" and "mixed" node types are OK.
There's nothing to fix.
