Yes, the error message was exactly that.

I followed your steps and that error message went away. Thank you.

Now I just get a flat "access denied" message. Leaving me one hurdle
overcome but the problem not resolved.

Why is the guest account being denied access to the shares? All firewalls
are off or specifically configured to allow access from the ip addresses in
this network.

I even shared the C drive suspecting that it couldn't see the shares.

I'm baffled.
