Hi, folks. Here's the problem:
Computer A runs XP Pro
Computer B runs XP Home.
Computer B can see and use shares on Computer A. However, Computer A
cannot see or use shares on Computer B. The error messages are "Access
is denied" and "Logon failure: the user has not been granted the
requested logon type at this computer."
Both A and B are in the same workgroup.
Both A and B have Simple File Sharing enabled.
Both A and B have the Guest account enabled.
Both A and B have identical user accounts, with identical
passwords on those account.
If I issue a plain "net view" command from Computer A, the name of
Computer B does show up. However, an attempt to view the shares on B
using "net view \\computer_B" generates an error.
Even an explicit, command-prompt-based attempt to map a Computer B
share, using username and password, fails. E.g., from Computer A command
line I type:
c:\> net use l: \\computer_B\sharename /user:bob bobspassword
This generates the "logon failure" error.
Not long ago there was no problem accessing these shares! Now, nothing.
Could it be that a virus or trojan altered some registry keys?
