Security question

[Dave and Rosanna]

Hello all -
I ran this fix today on my xp box to reset the secuity settings.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;313222

This box is fine, but I can no longer access it from a 2nd (Win2k) PC over
the network. The client in the second PC asks for user ID/Password,
I provide it with the my logon credentials on the XP box and it fails.

Shouldn't this work? Is there something I have to do on the 1st box ?

TIA for any info

You need to create an account/password on the Win2000 PC that matches your
account/password on the WinXP machine. You must then use this account when
logging on to the Win2000 machine.

Is it XP Home or XP Pro?
If it is XP Pro, try enabling "Simple File Sharing"
(Double-click any folder -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View ->
Last checkbox at bottom

HTH,

It's PRO and simple file sharing already enabled.

Regarding Pegasus' point - prior to resetting the XP PC's security, Windows
2000 was able to
access the shares on the XP box in the workgroup without a problem.
The account name did not match the XP account name,
but somewhere along the line the client in Win2k had asked for the password,
and I gave it the logon/
password I use when I logon to the XP box. Now I'm trying that again, but
it's not working.

I looked in the event viewer hoping to find some diagnostic message, but
nothing gets logged on
either box. Any other way to gather some more info ?

More info:
I enabled the Guest account on the XP box, assuming it would allow the win2k
machine to access the PC.
Instead of the Win2k asking for a userid/password, I get this message:

Logon Failure: The user has not been granted the requested logon type
at this computer.

Does it help to identify the problem ?

On each WinXP PC, create local user account(s), with non-blank
password(s), that have the desired access privileges to the desired
shares. Log on to the other PCs using those account(s), and you will be
able to access the designated shares, provided your network is
configured properly. Also, make sure that WinXP's built-in firewall is
disabled on the internal LAN connection.

Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:

Bruce,
I'm trying to access the XP box using credentials from my XP account on the
win2k box.
For example, to logon to XP physically, at the XP logon screen, there are
two account icons mine and my son's. My user is DAVEH . I select it and XP
asks for the
password and I enter dave1234 and it lets me in. (I'm the adminstrator)

On the win2k box when I try to access one of the XP shares it pops up a box
where I can enter "connect as" and "password".
I enter DAVEH and dave1234 and it says incorrect password or user name.

From the CMD box, if I enter NET VIEW \\XP-BOX-NAME
I get system error 5 has occurred.

Bruce,
it turns out file and printer sharing had been disabled.
Once I re-enabled it, no further setup was necessary. That makes sense,
since it was working perfectly well before I reset the security settings.
One of your links provided the clue - the info right on the sharing tab,
and a link to open the wizard. Thanks for your help.
