XP Home and Xp Pro



I was getting \\computername is not accessible. You might not have
permission... everytime I tried to access XP HOME via Workgroups and could
not see shares on it in Network Places.
Wireless between XP HOME SP2 and Media Centre 2005 (i.e. a form of Pro). I
could see all workgroups on each computer and could access
files on Media Centre from XP HOME but not vice versa. On the XP HOME I
went
to
start>run>regedit.HKEY_ LOCAL_
MACHINE>SYSTEM>>CurrentControlSet>Control>Lsa>restrictanonymous (NOT
restrictanonymousam)
and it was set at 1. I set it to 0 and I could access the HOME computer
from Media Centre and vice versa. However, when I checked it,
restrictanonymous had changed back to 1. XP Media Centre is set at 0 and
stays that way.
I can sometimes access the files on XP HOME using View Workgroup Computers
and now I can always access them via My Network Places. The 0 or 1 does
not seem to matter now for My Network Places. Not sure about Workgroups.
Any ideas why it changes back to 1? (sometimes without a re-boot).
Bob
