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

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.

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.

You're welcome.

What does your computer show for users or groups in Step 4 above? My
computer shows Administrators, Backup Operators, Everyone, Power
Users, and Users.

What does your computer show for users or groups in Step 5 above? My
computer shows SUPPORT_388945a0.

Thanks again for your input. By addding the items in step 4 the other
computers were able to access computer 2 but whenever computer 2 is rebooted
the area get cleared out and the access is lost. Any idea what could be
causing this?

I assume that your computer is a member of a workgroup, and my answer
only applies in a workgroup. If the computer is a member of a domain,
consult with the network administrator.

After adding the items in Step 4, restart the computer in "Safe mode
with networking" and see if the items are still there. If they are,
then some program that only runs in normal mode is changing the items.
Look through the startup items in Msconfig for possible culprits,
especially any networking or VPN programs.
