Login Error While Networking 2 XP Machines

[J.R.]

Hello all,

My situation is as follows. I have two machines running Windows XP
Professional Service Pack 2. I am running both through a router which in
turn connects to the Internet via a static IP (I must use this configuration
in order to have two computers connected to the internet at once in college
halls). I have set my router to assign 192.168.1.2 to one computer, and
192.168.1.3 to the other computer, using their MAC addresses. The router
itself has address 192.168.1.1.

I have run the Network Setup wizard on both computers. One is called
JOHN-DESKTOP and the other is called JOHN-LAPTOP. When I used the wizard,
both were connected to the router and I used the name HALLS for my network.

On my laptop machine, when I click VIEW WORKGROUP COMPUTERS, I can see both
my desktop and laptop. What's more, I can browse my desktop's shared files.

On my desktop machine, when I click VIEW WORKGROUP COMPUTERS, I can see both
my desktop and laptop. However, when I double click my laptop icon, I get
the following error:

"\\John-laptop 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."

I have checked Local Area Connection properties for both just to make sure
everything is identical and it is so, so I do not know why I can share files
one way but not the other. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
John

Hi John,

JSI Tip 5336. Your Windows XP computer cannot browse computers in the workgroup or access shared folders?:

If that does not help, you may try this question in Networking_web newsgroup.

Dear Ramesh/group,

This solution didn't work for me. However, I cannot find a networking_web
newsgroup on news.microsoft.com - can someone point me to the full address?
