File sharing problems

[Guest]

Hello, I need help with configuring file sharing on my home network.

I have experience with doing this, as I am working in a Helpdesk department.
I haven't had such problems before. This occured at home. I just bought
second computer and sighed up for DSL Internet access. Two computers running
XP SP2 are connected using cat-5e crossover cable. ICS is working perfect.

There are shares on both computers, NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled, guest
accounts are also enabled on both and I have tested the problem with all
firewalls being turned off and the error is the same even in Safe Mode with
Networking. I tried reseting settings of TCP protocol according to Q299357 -
it was also to no avail. I have even created two same profiles on both
computers - both were administratorts, password were the same - the error
reappeared.
Both LAN cards are Realtek, one is integrated in ASUS motherboard and
another is standard PCI LAN card.

Please help me to figure out the cause of the problem or give me a tip. Here
is an error message I get:

\\Computername is not accessible. You might not have permissions to use this
network resource. Contact your system 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.

If you need any additional information to help me, just tell me what you need.

Sincerely Yours, Rostislav.

MVP Steve Winograd found a solution to your specific error message:

"I've found a possible solution, sent to me by MVPs Oli Restorick and
Ron Lowe. It's a bit complicated, but I hope that you'll try it and
post a reply giving the results. On Computer C:

1. Download and install the Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit Tools from
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=4544 .

2. Click Start | All Programs | Windows Resource Kit Tools | Command
Shell.

3. Type these lines at the command prompt to grant network logon rights
to the Guest account. The second and third commands are
case-sensitive, so type them exactly as shown. Note the "+r" in the
second one and the "-r" in the third one:

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

Then try accessing Computer C from another computer on the network.

On a computer with XP Professional:

1. Click Start | Run, type "secpol.msc" in the box, and click OK.

2. Click Local Policies.

3. Click User Rights Assignment.

4. Click "Access this computer from the network" and make sure that the
Everyone group is included.

5. Click "Deny access to this computer from the network" and make sure
that the Everyone group is NOT included."

HTH,

Malke
