Windows XP Home file sharing Access Denied

[Guest]

Hi
For several weeks I have been trying to cure a problem at my neighbours
house, he has two Windows XP Home pc's connected by a crossover cable so that
he could share files between the two systems.

This worked fine but he kept getting spyware and the such, so I upgraded him
to SP2 put on Microsofts AntiSpyware and also installed Kaspersky's virus
checker.
After this I have been unable to share files, I ran the ICS Wizard and could
use the internet from both pc's but cannot share files.

I can ping both ip address and computernames from both pc's but as soon as I
try to connect I get the following messages.

The error when trying to access the laptop from the base is
"\\computername is not accessible. You might not have permission to
use this network resource.
Contact the administrator of this server to see if you have access
permissions.
Access denied"
from the laptop to the base pc the error is
"\\computername is not accessible. You might not have permission to
use this network resource.
Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have
access permission.
Logon failure the user has not been granted the requested logon type
at this computer."

I have also under advice tried the following commands

net user guest /active:yes
ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u Guest

And still am unable to get it working

Cany anybody please help
Regards
Anthony

Anthony,
Did you Download and install the Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit Tools from
<http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=4544> before doing the ntrights
processes?

Did you enable the File and Printer Sharing exception in Windows Firewall?

Check for a browser conflict too. The Microsoft Browstat program will show us
what browsers (I'm not talking about Internet Explorer here) you have in your
domain / workgroup, at any time.

You can download Browstat from either:
<http://www.dynawell.com/reskit/microsoft/win2000/browstat.zip>
<http://rescomp.stanford.edu/staff/manual/rcc/tools/browstat.zip>

Browstat is very small (40K), and needs no install. Just unzip the downloaded
file, copy browstat.exe to any folder in the Path, and run it from a command
window, by "browstat status". Make sure all computers list the same master
browser.

For more information about the browser subsystem (very intricate), see:

Hi Chuck
to answer two of your questions I have installed the windows 2003 resourse
kit and I have enabled file and print sharing on the pc,s as an exception on
the XP firewall

As for the other bit I will hopefully try this tonight

Hi Chuck
I have downloaded Browstat on to both computers and run the Browstat status
command and they are both using the same master browser.

Hi Anthony,

You have probably found out by now but your problem is Kaspersky
antivirus. On some machines it locks up the shared files making other
computers think they are in use when they try to copy them. It will
work fine on other machines I do not know why it does that on some
machines. But if it happens I think the only solution would be to use a
different av on the machine you have trouble copying files from.
