Logon Failure
I know there are a few other queries on this sight that seem to be similar
but I have followed them all and I am really struggling. I have 3 PCs all running XP Home peer to peer networked. Computer C cannot be accessed by either computer A or B - both get the 'logon failu the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer' message when trying to access computer C. Computer C can see the access A & B fine. File & print sharing are turned on, I have removed all firewall software and have tried removing all the network components and starting again from scratch, have renamed the computer, enabled the guest account. Does anyone have any solutions or suggestions please? I would be really grateful. Thanks. |

On the XP machines, click Start, click Run, type REGEDIT (hit enter)
Go to the following reg key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\LSA Look for "RestrictAnonymous" and ensure it is set to 0.

Try turning off all but two PCs. Try to get these two PCs to see each other
properly, then turn on the third and configure it once that's done. At this point I'd recommend you unshare everything that is currently shared on both PCs. Then re-share the C drive of one PC and see you can access that share from the other PC. A reboot may be required. Carey "Ellen" wrote in message ... Thanks.

Sorry, I'm not trying to be a "know-it-all" but I am relatively confident
with networking and have already tried all the obvious things. The other two pc's see each other fine but neither is allowed to access the third pc. I have tried completely removing all of the network connections on the pc that wont allow anyone access and re-setting the network up from scratch. Something new happened today thopugh. I tried to connect to the printer on this pc and i was asked for a password - something that I have never come accross before - could this be linked to my problem? Guest user accounts are 'on'. I hope you can help and appreciate your assistance. Thanks Ellen "Carey Holzman" wrote: Try turning off all but two PCs.

I'll continue researching the problem and will post a message if I find anything. I've done a pretty thorough news group search and haven't found a single case where someone proposed a solution and the person who reported the problem replied and said that the solution worked. I've found a way to duplicate the problem: 1. Do a clean installation of XP Home Edition. 2. Enable the Guest account for network access by entering this line at the command prompt: net user guest /active:yes 3. Don't run the Network Setup Wizard. 4. Try to access XP Home over the network from another computer. Running the Network Setup Wizard on XP Home solves the problem in that case. Please give it a try. Here are some things that you can do on all of the computers that might help: 1. Run McAfee AVERT Stinger to search for and remove common viruses and worms: http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ 2. Check the Event Log for relevant messages about networking and services. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

Hi..
I also faced the same problem. The solution for this is configure all the XP computer's through the Networking Wizard in the Network connections icon in control panel. Also type secpol.msc on run (it will open local security policy) click local polices security option Network Access: & select classic: local user authenticate as themself. This will solve our problem....Please restart our computer after you finish "Ellen" wrote: I know there are a few other queries on this sight that seem to be similar but I have followed them all and I am really struggling.

The solution for this is configure all the XP computer's through the Networking Wizard in the Network connections icon in control panel. I agree that the first thing to try is running the Network Setup Wizard. In my experience, it solves many, but not all, cases of the logon failure.

However, Ellen has XP Home Edition, and secpol.msc is only available in XP Professional. On a computer with 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. Click "Access this computer from the network" and make sure that the Everyone group is included. 5. Click "Deny access to this computer from the network" and make sure that the Everyone group is NOT included. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

Steve,
I tried the Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit Tools solution that you have suggested and it has solved the problem. Both the other pcs can access the system. Thanks a lot for your help - I really do appreciate it. I think we should let every other poor soul who's struggling know too - especially that guy who's the network administrator and has to re-format his systems every time! Thanks mate. You learn something new every day dont you. Ellen |

I've passed the word on to Oli and Ron. Given that there's nothing built into XP Home Edition to grant those networking permissions (other than running the Network Setup Wizard), I'd really like to know how those permissions get denied.
