Bill,

Disabling NIS may not be sufficient. Many have reported un installing
it to be the only solution. Or configure it properly. Set it to
trust local computers, and allow traffic from trusted computers: "TCP
139, 445; UDP 137, 138, 445".

When you disable Simple File Sharing, do you have a working Guest
account? Or are you using Classic authentication? Check the Local
Security Policy (Control Panel - Administrative Tools). Under Local
Policies - Security Options, look at "Network access: Sharing and
security model", and ensure it's NOT set to "Classic - local users
authenticate as themselves", if you want to use the Guest account.

Cheers,
Chuck
