Re: P2P networking

Thanks for the information. I tried your suggestions but I could still not
make it work. Still get the same error message when I try to access
computer #2.

tried everything I can think off with no success. Can anyone help with
this problem?

You didn't give us much to go, on, Joe -- we don't know what you've
tried, how the other computers are trying to access the 2nd computer,
or what happens when they do it.

If there's a firewall program (Norton, McAfee, PC-cillin, ZoneAlarm,
etc) on the 2nd computer, configure it to allow access by other
computers on the local area network. If there's no firewall program,
configure the built-in Windows Firewall to allow access.

If that doesn't help, please reply to this message in the news group
(not by E-mail) with more information to help other people understand
the problem. Give as many details of possible, including the complete
and exact text of all error messages. I'm sure that someone can help.

The message I get when I try to access computer 2 is as follows.

"\\ Computer2 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use the
neetwork resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if
you have access permission.
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at
this computer."

Compute2 have sharing activated but no-one can access it.

Thanks for posting the error message -- it really helps.

Run XP's Network Setup Wizard on Computer2 -- that's often all that's
needed to fix the "Logon failure" problem.

If that doesn't fix it, follow these steps on Computer2:

1. Click Start | Run, type "secpol.msc" in the box, and click OK.
2. Click Local Policies.
3. Click User Rights Assignment.
4. Click "Access this computer from the network" and make sure that
the Everyone group is included.
5. Click "Deny access to this computer from the network" and make sure
that the Everyone group is NOT included.
