I'm running Win'XP Home on two machines. I have the firewalls disabled on
both machines.
I'm successfully pinging each PC, one from the other.
Right clicking a folder on either system and selecting "Sharing and
Security" from the displayed menu, yields a dialog box that contains the
statement:
"As a security measure, Windows has disabled
remote access to this computer. However, you
can enable remote access and safely share files
by running the 'Network Setup Wizard'".
I've run the 'Network Setup Wizard' on both systems. It fails to establish
a network on either system, as evidenced by the fact that if I again select
"Sharing and Security" it yields the same screen as described above, with no
changes.
This problem is discussed in:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913621
However the article apparently applies to "Win'XP Pro" only. I am told
that it has been suggested by a post in another group (I havn't personally
seen the post) that the problem can be corrected in Win'XP Home by editing
the registry key/value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA
Value: RestrictAnonymous
Value Type: REG_DWORD
So that it equals: 0.
A general discussion on setting the quantity "RestrictAnonymous" can be
found in: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246261/.
The problem is that the value of "RestrictAnonymous" is already equal to
zero. This is the case on both machines.
What do I do? How do I create a network? I am trying to set it up so that
I can share folders on one machine with another.
