User not granted requested logon type

[Paul Nancarrow]

I have a small network at my office, including three
machines, all running WinXP Home. One has SP2, the others
do not. The machine running WinXP Home SP2 has a wireless
connection, the others are wired. Recently one of the
wired WinXP Home (non-SP2) machines has started denying
access to the others on the network. It had played nicely
with the others on the network before this problem. The
machine's icon appears in the View Workgroup Computers
screen, but none of the contents of the machine can be
accessed. When I try to access the problematic machine, I
receive the error message, "Logon failure: the user has
not been granted the requested logon type at this
computer." The problematic computer is able to see and
access shared resources on the other two machines.

I've checked that error message on the MS KB, but all the
entries have to do with Win2000 or WinXP Pro, and they
all have to do with resetting permissions in
administrative tools that I cannot find in WinXP Home.
The only entry in WinXP Home's help system I can find
about requested logon types has to do with Telnet, of all
things... I have not been able to find anything in the KB
that helps with my specific situation.

Anybody have any clearer insights?

TIA
