Sharing goes only one way

[Guest]

I am networked. Both computers know the other is on the network and when
there is a connection. Computer "G" can access shared files on Computer "E,"
but "E" can't get access to shared files on computer "G." Also, computer "G"
is connected to the internet through "E," an arrangement that works well, for
"G."

Both computers are XP home SP 2. However "E" used to be Windows Me. When I
try to access shared files that are on "G," Using computer "E," I get the
dreaded "G" is not accessible, you may not have permission to use this
network resource, message. The message goes on to say "Logon failure, the
user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer." There
are two network cards on "E" one called "internet in" and one called
"internet out" "E" and "G" are connected directly with a crossover cable.

I have tried it with all firewalls off, and I have run that wizard on both
computers 200 times. I have also logged in and out on both computers many
times. Nothing....
Now, I don't even remember why I decided to do this! I am sure that will
come back to me, but the solution remains in question. Any takers?

As long as both computers have Internet connectivity, and one computer can
access files on the other, the problem is manageable.

The message "Logon failure, the user has not been granted the requested logon
type at this computer." is well known here. You have to activate the account -
Guest or non-Guest, for network access. And there are other settings to check.

What your article suggest, sounds exactly like what I am looking for.
However, there is a problem. When I type in the net user
AccountName/active:yes I get:
"The syntax of this command is: NET USER [username [password | *] [options]]
[/DOMAIN] Then on the next line username {password | *} /ADD [options]
[/DOMAIN] Then on the next line username [/DELETE] [/DOMAIN}

I feel certain that these are all samples doing something similar but
different. I am guessing that the username is the name that I sign onto "E"
with, or is it "E's" name? I don't really need a password, but it wouldn't be
hard to pick one. Then, I have no idea about options and is the "/DOMAIN" the
name of my mshome network?

I had no joy in using the ever faithful drag and drop INTO the command
window, nor OUT OF it. I have no idea how to do that.l I have a DOS for
dummies around here somewhere. You have me thinking that I might be venerated
in having kept that book. But the DOS book is probably in there with Jimmy
Hoffa's body.

Windows XP Pro has the Local Users and Groups - Users wizard. XP Home doesn't -
with XP Home, you have to use "net user". But you do have to use precise syntax
when you enter the command, and no, the "/DOMAIN" is not needed.

When you enter the command, are you substituting an actual account name for
"AccountName"? Do you have a space between "AccountName" and "/active:yes"?

 

[Guest]

OK, adding the space between the account name and the \active:yes was a
problem. I do not get the syntax jaz anymore. Now I have to wonder what the
correct account name might be. Now I get "the account user name cannot be
found."
EXPLANATION: You specified an unknown user name. And then I get a list of
usernames from the security database. None of the names listed there are
having trouble getting information from a shared folder. I tried to do this
user name trick using the name of the computer I called "E" and the user
name on that computer, no joy.

That's rather simple. XP Home uses Guest authentication.

OK, I feel that I am closer. I activated the Guest. That set up a user
account called Guest with a password. It also automatically set a password on
log in for all other users. I logged in as administrator and made tha
passwords what I wanted them to be. Then I tied to access the shared files
from "E" again. This time I was promted for a password. I entered that and
then got the original, you aren't authorized message.

OK, I went back to your website and followed the directions for entering
the ntrights. I progressed successfully through ntrights -r SeDenyLogonRights
-u Guest. However, there seems to be something about that "-g" in the
"ntrights +r SeLogonRights -g Everyone" that doesn't seem to fit the syntax,
because I keep getting the "NTRights.exe - Beta....", once I hit enter. If I
change the -g to a -u it completes successfully. However, I still can't get
into the shared files on "G" and now the password screen is gone again. What
am I missing? Any ideas?

[Guest]

I need to point out that the "-g" was from your blog.
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/advanced-file-sharing-tweaks-in.html#NTRights. Where it saysthrough the miracle of copy/paste)
"...But, the Local Security Policy editor, aka "secpol.msc" is not included
in Windows XP Home. In this case, you have to run NTRights, and enter the
following commands (precisely as shown below):


ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -g Everyone
ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -g Everyone..."
See those "-g's?" I take it from your last posted response that those
"-g's" should be "-u's?" Which, like I said, I tried and the "-u's"
succeeded. However, "E" still can't access "G" and I don't know why? I think
I am going to let the whole thing rest a few days. I am missing something.

OK, adding the space between the account name and the \active:yes was a
problem. I do not get the syntax jaz anymore. Now I have to wonder what the
correct account name might be. Now I get "the account user name cannot be
found."
EXPLANATION: You specified an unknown user name. And then I get a list of
usernames from the security database. None of the names listed there are
having trouble getting information from a shared folder. I tried to do this
user name trick using the name of the computer I called "E" and the user
name on that computer, no joy.

That's rather simple. XP Home uses Guest authentication.

OK, I feel that I am closer. I activated the Guest. That set up a user
account called Guest with a password. It also automatically set a password on
log in for all other users. I logged in as administrator and made tha
passwords what I wanted them to be. Then I tied to access the shared files
from "E" again. This time I was promted for a password. I entered that and
then got the original, you aren't authorized message.

OK, I went back to your website and followed the directions for entering
the ntrights. I progressed successfully through ntrights -r SeDenyLogonRights
-u Guest. However, there seems to be something about that "-g" in the
"ntrights +r SeLogonRights -g Everyone" that doesn't seem to fit the syntax,
because I keep getting the "NTRights.exe - Beta....", once I hit enter. If I
change the -g to a -u it completes successfully. However, I still can't get
into the shared files on "G" and now the password screen is gone again. What
am I missing? Any ideas?

What's the "-g" for? You need "+r" to grant, and "-r" to revoke. And "-u
Everyone" specifies group Everyone.
