The: "Logon failure" message indicates a specific problem on the
desktop computer.
Run XP's Network Setup Wizard on the desktop computer. If the wizard
detects the router's shared Internet connection, tell it to use that
connection. Otherwise, tell it that the computer connects to the
Internet through a residential gateway. Reboot the desktop and try
accessing it again over the network.
If that doesn't fix the problem, this should do the job -- I've seen
it work many times, including once on my own network:
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
