unable to access one from the other...from the desktop i get access denied,
but from the laptop i get logon error...refer to the following link for
exactly everything i've

Ok, I had the same problem, It all occoured after i installed SP2 on my
computers.
I used the following solution,
You need to use you Registry editor, which may sound a bit scary, but is
quite easy to use if you follow these instructions:

Click START,
Click on RUN
In the text box enter REGEDIT, and click OK,
The registry editor should open,
Click on the cross next to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Then go to SYSTEM
Then go to CONTROL
Then Select LSA
In the right hand screen you should see some icons appear,
Find the two that say restrict anonymous, and double click on them both.
You need to change both their value datas to 0
Once you have done this, Exit the registry editor, by clicking the cross,
and then RESTART your computer!

You should find that this solves the problem, Whatever the outcome, let me
know!!

Good Luck

Um, well did you restart the computer after u changed the registry?
Other wise, make sure u have a guest account set up on both users!

Lark,

The restrictanonymous setting is one of the simpler solutions, but it's not the
only possibility. You may also need to check for overlooked and problematic
firewalls. And a browser conflict could cause this problem too. Run browstat
to diagnose that.

I surely would not un install SP2. There are many better ways to spend your
time, just work with us.

If the above possibilities don't work out (please read the above articles, and
all relevant linked articles), we'll try and diagnose the problem.

i had to download browstat b/c i searched my Hard Drive and couldnt find it

anyway, i ran 'browstat status' and this is what i got:
status for domain MSHOME on transport \device\netbt_tcpip_{bunch of numbers
and letters}
browsing is active on domain.
master browser is: desktop
could not connect to registry, error = t unable to determine build of
browser master: 5
unable to determine server information for browser mastter: 5
1 backup servers retrieved from master DESKTOP
\\DESKTOP
There are 2 servers in domain MSHOME on transport \device\netbt_tcpip_{bunch
of numbers and letters}
there are 2 domains in domain MSHOME on transport \device\netbt_tcpip_{bunch
of different numbers and letters}

Well, that computer can't access the browser server, which could be part of the
problem. Browstat is most useful, though, when run from the other computer too.
Please follow instructions, and produce "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all"
for both computers, unedited, and complete. Use redirect (">c:\browstat.txt")
for total accuracy.

that was a neat trick (>brostat.txt) that i'd never seen before...got to
remember that one

anyway...i ran both ipconfig and browstat on both the ethernet desktop and
wireless laptop and uploaded the txt files to my website for you viewing

http://www.mrlarkins.com/x/ipconfig_laptop.txt
http://www.mrlarkins.com/x/ipconfig_desktop.txt
http://www.mrlarkins.com/x/browstat_laptop.txt
http://www.mrlarkins.com/x/browstat_desktop.txt

let me know if you need anything else.

OK, you have an explicit "access denied". You need to activate the Guest
account properly, and you need to set the Guest account with the correct rights.
With XP Home, this takes extra work.

holy *!>@%#

i did that "net user Guest /active:yes" thing on both the desktop and
laptop, and it fixed half of the problem!!!! I now can access my laptop from
my desktop...but when i am at my laptop trying to access my desktop, i get
this error:

"Logon failure: the user has not been granted the reguested logon type for
this computer"

also had to specify guest user rights manually

i used this:
Type these three lines, one at a time, at the command prompt. The ntrights
commands are case-sensitive and all are space sensitive, so type them exactly
as shown. Note the spaces separating each word, and 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



topic closed, thanks Rob and Chuck!
