Chuck, your blog is marvelous. I read every bit and checked every setting one
by one. Then I had to step away because it was making me really crazy. Now
I'm back after a long rest and re-read and tried everything again - one by
one, of course. Same result.
A summary of where I stand is:
- A Dell desktop running XP Pro SP2 is the server
- The desktop is wired to a versalink router
- I have two choices of client - Toshiba laptop XP MCE SP2 wireless and
Windows 95SE wired to router.
- All machines have identical accounts with identical passwords.
- The guest account is activated with identical password on the XP machines.
- I tried creating a new account just for test
result: Access denied error=5 using laptop or Win95 machine as client to
access Dell Desktop. Can access both the laptop and the Win95 as server.
There was just one thing that was a bit odd (I'm grasping at straws) - in
the security settings, user rights assignment, 'access this computier from
the network' - there is the list of familar items Administrators, everyone,
users, powerusers, there are two stranges ones: aspnet and *s-..... (where
...... is a long string of numbers letters and dashes) - could that meaning
anything?
No firewalls are on, Norton Internet Security is completely removed (as far
as I can tell, how can I know for sure...)
any thoughts?
