\\gateway is not accessible

[William Lipp]

I recently reconfigured the home LAN of Win2K machines, setting up
ICS.

Now when I try to use Windows Explorer to reach the gateway from one
of the other machines, I get the error

\\gateway is not accessible.
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type
at this computer.

From \\gateway I can reach \\other1 and \\other2. \\other1 and
\\other2 can reach each other, but neither can reach \\gateway. Users
and passwords didn't change and appear to be intact. Deleting a user
and recreating the user on \\gateway didn't help.

Using the command net view \\gateway results in the message
System Error 5 has Occured
Access is denied.

All machines can ping each other by name and by IP.

Gateway did not have net share IPC$. Adding this made no difference.

ZoneAlarm Pro was installed on \\gateway as part of the changeover,
but these errors happen even when ZoneAlarm is shut down.

Can anyone help?

I forgot to mention that I'm not happy about this state and would
appreciate help in figuring out how to change it.

Make sure all computers are in the same workgroup, File- and printersharing
is loaded and that all useraccounts exist on all computers.
Check the ipconfig/all from all clients and compare.
