Access denied to computer in xp home networked computers

[Guest]

My client has 2 xp "home" systems being networked over a wireless router. I
installed the wireless cards and the router. The two computers see each other
but there appears to be a security block on one I'm unable to locate and turn
off.

Two computers: X and Y

Both are in the same tcp/ip network. 192.168.0.6, 192.168.0.7 and router is
192.168.0.1. Both use class C subnet mask. DHCP is not being used, fixed
addressing in place here. Both are in the same workgroup - "LTS".

computer Y has the file for an accounting program they want to share across
the network. The folder is shared and network users have the right to alter
the files.

Computer x can see both computers on the network. It can access the shares
on itself. It can ping itself. When it tries to open up to see shares on Y
then it is denied with "logon type requested is denied". Pings to Y come back
timeout requested.

Computer Y can see both computers. It can access shares on both computers.
It can ping both computers.

The Windows firewall is turned off on Y. netbios/tcpip is enabled on Y.
Guest account is enabled on Y. Norton Internet security was installed on Y. I
uninstalled it, it had no impact on the problem. (Norton is currently
reinstalled and the IPs for each computer are added to the remote access
allowed list in Norton - no change in the problem.)

Event log on Y reports that a login request type 3 was made and the login
request was access denied.

Am I missing anything? What could still be blocking access on this computer?

What's the EXACT error message "...logon type requested..."?

One of the most common causes of this problem would be a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall on Y, but there are other possibilities too.

Is this the actual error message: "Logon failure: the user has not
been granted the requested logon type at this computer." ?

If so, here are some possible solutions on computer Y. Try each one,
in order, until the problem is fixed:

1. Run the Network Setup Wizard.

2. Type this line at a command prompt, then reboot:

netsh winsock reset catalog

3. Follow these steps to make some required user rights assignments:

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

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

c. 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:

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

The login problem can also be caused by a malicious program called
W32.Spybot.Worm. Update your antivirus program and run a full scan on
Y. This web page has instructions for removing the worm manually:

XP Pro has a built-in way to make the user rights assignments that I
described in Step 3 above. On your laptop:

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.

Yes, the error message was exactly that.

I followed your steps and that error message went away. Thank you.

Now I just get a flat "access denied" message. Leaving me one hurdle
overcome but the problem not resolved.

Why is the guest account being denied access to the shares? All firewalls
are off or specifically configured to allow access from the ip addresses in
this network.

I even shared the C drive suspecting that it couldn't see the shares.

I'm baffled.

Happy to report - problem is resolved.

The access denied message was fixed by correcting the restrictanonymous
setting in the registry.

Thanks for the help.
