Networking XP Pro

[Guest]

I know there are a few other queries on this sight that seem to be similar
but I have followed them all and I am really struggling.

I have 2 PCs all running XP Professional SP2 networked with a SMC router.
SMC support has verified its configured correctly several times.
Desktop cannot be accessed by laptop, but I can access laptop from desktop.
Ironically, prior to removing all the virus software on both computer, the I
could access the desktop from the laptop, but not vise versa

I access the computer simply by Start/run/IP address, eg:
\\192.168.2.11

From the laptop I get the 'logon failure: the user has not been granted the
requested logon type at this computer' message

I can ping both directions.
I have static IP Desktop: 192.168.2.10 and Laptop: 192.168.2.11
Simple file sharing check box under tools/folder options/view is enabled.
Ive tried it without the box checked as well.
I did the guest regedit


File & print sharing are turned on, I have removed all firewall software

“There's a fix for XP Professional (changing local security policies)â€

Can anyone help?

If the computer that can't be accessed runs Windows 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.
