Might give us more info...
Where did you find the restrictanonymous option?
You say the machine does not let anyone in? Do they see this computer?
What changes were made leading up to the problem?
The network here is mixed wired and wireless with 6 desktops/laptops
connected. For a long time all worked perfectly, then a while ago suddenly my
desktop would not allow access to its shares from other machines. The
computer itself is visible but not the shares. Double clicking on the
computer gives an access error.
Regrettably I have worked around this for some months by communicatin from
this machine to the others when necessary, and therefore cannot remember what
I may have installed that caused the problem.
After searching around the net over the last few days I came across the
Pchucks network site and have followed all his investigative advice and this
is what led me to the restrictanonymous setting.
Specifically it is the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\restrictanonymous key
I am trying to change. I can change it in regedit but when rebooting it gets
changed back to 1.
I suspected (maybe irrationally) that something is changing it back during
startup but have been unable to isolate the cuilprit, hence my question about
are there known favourite candidates for causing this.
