Help on classical Networking problem

[Yasso]

Computer A and Computer B

Both machines
* have wireless connection to a router with DHCP, and are assigned IP
automatically
* can access the internet
* have windows firewall disabled
* can ping each other
* belong to the same workgroup and can see each other by name in Network
Places
* have shared folders and printers with access permissions for
Administrators, Power Users, and Users
* have some common Users (but not Administrators) with identical user names
and passwords
* can make full communication and use resources with other Linux-Samba
servers on the same network!!!
* can't share resources with each other

Problem:
When one machine tries to access the other machine (in Network Places or by
drive mapping)
we get the standard error message

\\computername is not accessible. You might not have permission... etc
Logon Failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at
this computer

What does it mean by "Logon Type" and how to make it grant it.

Any help Please

Thanks

The problem and the solution are on the computer that can't be
accessed. Run XP's Network Setup Wizard on that computer -- that's
often all that's needed. If that doesn't fix the problem, keep
reading.

If the computer that can't be accessed runs Windows 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.

If the computer that can't be accessed runs Windows XP Home Edition,
the "secpol.msc" program isn't available. To make the required user
rights assignments:

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

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

3. 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 one:

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