Re: Logon failure while accessing WinXP Home

"Also there is no security settings in XP Home(laptop) so i cant configure
anything there."

It sounds like the firewall is blocking file and printer sharing. Are you
saying that you cannot access the laptop's firewall settings to see if it is
enabled? If so, go to Administrative Tools/Services. Scroll down to
Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing. If the status is 'started',
right click on it and select Stop.
