You're welcome. I'm glad that my suggestion helped you solve the
problem. Thanks for the report.
By default, Windows XP Professional denies network access from a user
account that doesn't have a password, and the setting that you found
changes that.
I don't know why, but when I try network access from a user that
doesn't have a password, I get a different error message than the one
that you got. I get:
Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are
blank passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy
restriction has been enforced.
