Re: Network Connections x 2 PCs

Hi Steve: update so far in our Home Network saga :-)

Managed to fix the logon problem on 1 computer only.
We followed your last instructions and PC no.2 (my son's Mark)
is now able to connect to the Internet and also see my PC (No.1)
- also to open the My Shared Folder, My Shared Printer, etc.

On my PC (No.1), I can connect to the Internet and SEE the two
Computer icons on the Network in our "WorkGroup". Clicking on my
PC icon there is no restrictions, but when clicking on PC2, keep
getting the (LOGON failure: the user has not been granted the requested
logon type at this computer).

I take it that some settings on PC2 is barring me from accessing it.

(Note: on both PCs we created User Accounts with passwords. Also tried
disconnecting the Internet Modem, disabled all our Firewalls, but still
the above logon failure comes up. Both PC are WInXP Pro systems.)

You have been very patient with assisting in this problem and if you can
still manage a few more solutions... well, you obviously live is the US
and I am in Malta, so buying you a beer would be difficult...but would
be very grateful if you can solve this.

Best wishes
Poltonis
