Pamuditha,

There are many possible causes for the "access restriction massage".

User accounts are indeed a possibility.

We can help you, but a few details would be very helpful.

See David's post Acess Denied dated Wednesday June 01.2005.
It worked for me.

Caveat, editing the registry is scary. You might wanna back it up first.
 
I found a solution but it seems little bit crazy
1. creating two administrator accounts (with same username/pw)
on each machine. (XP and 2K)

2. But when it is done y2k machine is allowed to log in to XP
machine when I'm logging with that account only. Otherwise displ
ay a messege " logon failure, user account restirction"

3. Can I know why?
