Been dealing with this problem for several months on-and-off. Culprit?
Most likely WEP running on the Linksys wireless router. Turned off
WEP and F & P works like a charm. Left this problem with Linksys
support and they have yet to get back with me. My hunch is that their
is a bug in the Linksys algorithm that corrupts ACL verifications. For
that reason, I often received sporadic blockage to the workgroup, even
though I was a member of it. When the workgroup was accessed, was
refused access to network devices even though I held an equivalent
account on those devices.
Once WEP was removed, discovered some issues with authentication levels
to the Windows 2003 server that is on my network. Login failed because
I had set it to NTLMv5 authentication (done through Local Security
Policies). While theoretically this should not have been a problem
because all my workstations are Windows XP, reducing the level back down
to both LM and NTLMv5 negotiated solved the problem. Again, this may be
related to the Linksys router.
One option failed to resolve the WEP problem, an option that has often
solved problems in other networks I have administered. Tried adding a
WINS server to the network. Even that failed. The problem is quite
puzzling. Theoretically, NetBIOS (which is used to match Microsoft
computer names with an IP address) should be embedded in an TCP/IP
packet, which is embedded in the WEP shroud.
Since I scanned several other messages in this newsgroup, it appears the
problem first emerged with SP2. It is possible that SP2 conducts an
integrity assessment of the authentication packets to establish whether
they have been manipulated, and that the WEP manipulation of the Linksys
router apparently triggers a rejection. I leave that to Microsoft to
explain.
