Network problem after AIM Virus

G

Guest

Peer-to-Peer network with 4 computers running XP SP2 shared drives, internet
connection and printers without problems. 5 weeks ago an AIM virus infected
the ICS computer. Now ICS computer does not share drives or printer with
other peers. ICS, however, still works.

Message displayed:

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

Looking for reason and method to eliminate this problem. Help appreciated.

Virus was eradicated.

I have a PPT or ZIP file with screen shot.

The problem and the solution are on the computer that can't be
accessed. Running the Network Setup Wizard on that computer is often
all that's needed. If that doesn't fix the problem, the solution
depends on which version of XP that computer runs:

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.

XP Home Edition::

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
