Make sure that both of these are true, because "deny" overrides
"allow":

1. The Guest account is allowed the right to log in over the network.

ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u Guest

2. The Guest account isn't denied the right to log in over the
network.

ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u Guest

Both commands are case-sensitive, so type (or copy/paste) them exactly
as shown.

The entry for Guest in Control Panel "User Accounts" has nothing to do
with networking. It determines whether someone can log on as Guest at
the local keyboard.
