HELP!!! \\ ( Comuter name) is not accessible. You might not have permission to

[Olivia]

Hello All.
I am stumped trying to set up a home network.
I have 2 computers and this is the error I get.

\\(Computer name) 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
network permissions. Access is denied.

Both computer run xp, 1 is home and the other is pro. No
firewall on either computer. From the xp home, I can see
AND BROWSE the other computer in the workgroup. From the
xp Pro, I can see BUT CANNOT BROWSE the xp home (which is
the host computer). I get the above error when trying to
get into the other computer. Internet connection is
shared and functioning on both computers. Both computers
only have one user and are clearly the administrators.

I have already tried:
resetting tcp/ip
reinstalling NIC's
enabling NETBIOS over TCP/IP
restarting computer browsing
starting from scratch
renaming the workgroup
all files and folders are shared correctly

and maybe more but I cant remember

I have googled this error and tried tips and suggestions
from other users with same problem but no fixes seem to
fix this problem. I'd appreciate some help or at least a
step in the right direction. Thanks, Olivia

Run "ipconfig /all" in a command prompt window on each computer, and
look at the "Node Type" at the beginning of the output. If it says
"Peer-to-Peer" (which should actually be "Point-to-Point") that's the
problem. It means that the computer only uses a WINS server, which
isn't available on a peer-to-peer network, for NetBIOS name
resolution.

If that's the case, run the registry editor, open this key:

HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters

and delete these values if they're present:

NodeType
DhcpNodeType

Reboot, then try network access again.

If that doesn't fix it, open that registry key again, create a DWORD
value called "NodeType", and set it to 1 for "Broadcast" or 4 for
"Mixed".

Olivia,

Please provide ipconfig information for each computer, so we can run
comprehensive diagnoses to tell us where your problems are.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is
NOT checked!, copy and paste entire contents into your next post. Identify
operating system (by name, version, and SP level) with each ipconfig listing.

This is what I did, care of someone I work with.

regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\
RestrictAnonymous:REG_DWORD:"0"

on both computers and..presto...they both can browse each
other. This is after a week of trying everything on
google.
