Greetings smellae,

The users may not have permission on the other computer you are trying to
access due to a local security policy.

To resolve this problem, go to Administrative Tools and open the Local
Security Policy. Expand 'User Rights Assignment' in the left pane and Double
click on "Access this computer from the network." What users are allowed to
access the computer. Make sure the Users, Groups, Everyone, or any users you
want in list to have access.

Also, in the Local Security Policy scroll and find "Deny access to this
computer from the network." Double click or right click on it and choose
Properties. Make sure nobody in there is listed besides Support and Guests.
