file sharing with xp sp2

Guest

I have just reinstalled XP sp2 on my home office computer. I have two
computers a family pc and my home office pc networked together with a shared
internet router to my cable modem. The router is a d-link DI-604. I have
folders I'm sharing on my family pc I can no longer access from my home
office pc. I'm using NIS 2004, I have turned off windows firewall and
temporarily disabled NIS. I have gotten these 2 messages when I try to view
my workgroup computers in My Network Places.

1. "You do not have the appropriate access rights for this server. For more
information, contact your network administrator."

And then when I tried to adjust permisions I got this:

2. "\\Home-pc1 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the adminisrtator of this server to find out if you
have access permissions.

Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank
passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has
been enforced."

The really sad thing here is that am suppose to be the network
administrator. Can anyone tell me how to fix this a I am at a loss.

I figured it out on my own. Well not exacvtly. The problem I was having was a
"simple" one, well almost, the file sharing doesn't work right when it is
first setup through the wizard all you need to do is unshare the file or
folder you are trying to share then rehare the folder from the the sharing
and security tab when you right click the folder. Go here for a better
explanation:

Read the section at the bottom "Troubleshooting file sharing in Windows XP"
