I have 3 computers which are in a workgroup behind a NAT router, and I would
like to share each 'My Documents' folder for all users on all PCs - security
in the family is not an issue. All PCs are running XP Home with SP2.
Currently PC1 can see the shares on PC2 and PC3, but neither PC2 nor PC3 can
see those on PC1. I looked in the system event log and noticed several login
failures coincide with the times I try to access a share. I have identically
named accounts/passwords on all 3 machines. I have just created a new
account on each to double confirm this - same old problem.
The error message I get when trying to browse PC1's files is: "\\PC1 is not
accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource"
I can ping PC1 from the other computers, all have enabled Guest accounts,
there is no software firewall enabled, workgroup names are identical,
NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled by default, Computer Browser and RPC services
are started and there is a shared folder on all machines.
At the times I try to access a shared folder and get the above error
message, entries get written to both PC1 and the other PC's event (security)
logs. The events all look like this:
Event Type: Failure Audit

What am missing ? Where can I learn more about how accounts log on in such
circumstances ?
