Networking issues - "Logon failure"

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I'm currently running Windows XP Home (SP2). The situation is that I have a
network of 3 computers: 2 laptops, 1 desktop. The desktop acts as a server
(shares internet connection and printer) and is connected via Cat5 to a
router (currently acting as a wireless AP for the laptops). Both laptops can
access the shared internet connection but when trying to access the desktop
(by going Run > \\desktop) it comes up with an error message saying:
> "\\desktop is not accessible. You might not have permission to
use this network resource. Contact the adminstrator of this server to find
out if you have access permissions. Logon failure: the user has not been
granted the requested logon type at this computer"

On the desktop, I have the Guest account ENABLED and I have made sure that
my firewall allows local traffic. I have run the Network Setup Wizard and I
am certain that my configuration is correct.

I have read a few articles and MS-KB articles but no solution could be
found. All computers on the network run either XP Pro or Home (SP2).

This problem is very annoying and have been working on it all day. Please
help. It would be greatly appreciated!
