Problems accessing shares between Xp Pro and Xp Home

[Guest]

The error msg is : "\\Comp-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 access permissions.
Login failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at
this computer"
I have one computer with Windows Xp Proffesional and the other with Windows
Xp Home Ed. connected through a small switch . Both of the computers have
unique Ip and both are working on the Internet . I can ping them, I can see
them but when I try to access through the network I get this error msg.
And I tryed the following :
- Making new users ( both with admin rights and on both of the computers the
same users )
- I`ve made the network again with the microsoft Network Setup Wizard
- Modified the registry entry from HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA
"restrictanonymous" seting it to "0"
- Reinstalled both network cards

NOTHING WORKED

Pls. HELP

The problem and the solution are on the computer that can't be
accessed. If that computer 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.

If the computer that can't be accessed runs Windows XP Home Edition,
the "secpol.msc" program isn't available. To make the required user
rights assignments:

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. 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

Thanks a lot for everything. Finaly it worked with what Steve told me ( thx
again man ) . The only thing that I had to do was to disable "Accounts: Limit
local account use of blank passwords to console logon only " from " Security
Options" in "Local Security Settings" ( accessed by runing the command
"secpol.msc"). But this was because I had the user " User" with no password
on both of the computers.

So THX again

You're welcome. I'm glad that my suggestion helped you solve the
problem. Thanks for the report.

By default, Windows XP Professional denies network access from a user
account that doesn't have a password, and the setting that you found
changes that.

I don't know why, but when I try network access from a user that
doesn't have a password, I get a different error message than the one
that you got. I get:

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

So I followed your instructions regarding secpol.msc and also looked at the
setting "Macelaru" found, but still cannot fix the problem. My laptop
running XP Home (Version 2002 Service Pack 2) cannot access either of my XP
Professional (Version 2002 Service Pack 2) computers, but they can both
access each other, and they can both access the XP Home Laptop. The error on
the Laptop is the "\\Comp-Name is not accessible. You might not have ..."
error message mentioned in the earlier post.

Interestingly, the Laptop CAN access files if they're placed in the "Shared
Documents" folder, but I'd rather not use that folder. I have (I think)
properly shared those folders under "My Documents" that I want to access from
the laptop.

Appreciate any advice you can provide.

Wonder how much is costs to get an XP Prof upgrade :-D

Make sure that simple file sharing is disabled on XP Pro. Un-share
and then re-share the folders under "My Documents".

Create a user account on XP Pro with the same user name and password
that you use to log onto XP Home.

Wonder how much is costs to get an XP Prof upgrade :-D

The list price is around $200, and retail prices are usually $150-180.
