SERIOUS Problems w/ File Sharing

Nivan · 08-04-2006, 02:31 PM

Here's my situation.

I have a few XP Pro PC's trying to access another XP Pro PC. They are all running SP2.

The PC can see the other computers, access & change their files, etc, no problem whatsoever.

But NONE of the other computers can see this one PC. I've tried EVERYTHING. I mean everything. I get this error when trying to access it :

Before you suggest something, please note I have done the following :

- Run the home or office network setup wizard
- Enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP on all computers
- Disabled all firewalls
- Used the Command Shell from Windows Resource Kit to enable guest authentication (thread below, posted by Q somebody...)
- Went to gpedit.msc, and disabled "Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only".
- Restarting the computer(s) after trying these changes
- Tried unsharing and resharing the folder(s).

I STILL cannot access this one computer! I am desperate beyond belief, this computer cannot be reformatted to fix the problem. Thanks for your time.

Is this the script you tried?

Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer

If you see this message the following should be done on the computer containing the shared files:

Download the following and install it

Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=4544

after installation is complete, click on: Start, All Programs, Windows Resource Kit Tools, Command Shell

Then enter the following commands. (Attention: they are case sensitive.)

net user guest /active:yes
ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u Guest

The first command enables network access for Guest, the two subsequent ones change two different policies to allow network access for Guest.

You OBVIOUSLY did not read my post.

I have already tried what you just said. Please read before just copy pasting your solution.

I asked if that was the script you used, since you weren't specific. You obviously didn't read my post.
