can't access networked computers - with authorisation

[ashecorven]

I have 3 computers named TWO, THREE and FOUR (great naming structure hey) -
ONE is retired in case your wondering

TWO and THREE and desktop computers connected (wired) to a linksys WAG54G
ADSL modem/(wireless) router.
FOUR is a laptop connected via wireless-g to the router. The desktop
computers do not have wireless adapters installed in them

each computer is running xp-sp2 with all recent updates.

each computer is able to ping the router & every other computer using IP
address and names (TWO, THREE, FOUR)

the problem is that THREE can access TWO & no other computer access works at
al (THREE->FOUR, TWO->THREE, TWO->FOUR, FOUR->TWO, FOUR->THREE)

when TWO or THREE try to access FOUR, the error \\four 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 permissions.
Access is denied" is received

when TWO tries to access THREE, the error "\\four 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 permissions.
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at
this computer" is received

when FOUR tries to access TWO or THREE the error "\\two 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 permissions.
The account is not authorized to log in from this station" is received

also each computer has "Everyone" included in "Access this computer from the
network" in the User Rights Assignment in Local Security Settings/Policy

I am in desperate need of advice - please help
TIA

Simple filesharing with Guest accounts disabled? Yay or nay, this should
help:

verify that you have shared some directories or all the hard disks in
those computers you can not access.

 

[ashecorven]

yeah all computers have the sharedocs folder and c$, d$, etc.

 

[ashecorven]

Thankyou for your responses Rob & Gabriel.

I'm using simple filesharing on all computers, and also have "automatically
search for network folders & printers" unchecked also

Guest account is enabled and password protected on all computers. (same
password for each computer)

only change i've made is:-
I added the Guest account in the "access this computer from the network"
policy and removed it from the "deny access to this computer from the
network" on all computers.

And of course there are still errors - but have changed.

now TWO can access FOUR (the laptop), but not THREE "..... Access is denied"
error

THREE cannot access anything now (used to be able to access TWO) ".....
Access is denied" error for both TWO & FOUR

FOUR cannot even access the workgroup "..... The account is not authorised
to log in from this station" error for accessing the workgroup, TWO & THREE.
TWO & THREE show that it is in the workgroup.

each computer is still able to ping the router & every other computer using
IP address and names (TWO, THREE, FOUR)

any ideas?

i find it extremely strange that TWO can access FOUR but not THREE

thanks
