Re: Firewall and sharing

I am attempting to access the shareddocs folder from another computer on the

granted the requested logon type at this computer." I am only attempting to
browse the shareddocs folder.

I think that the problem is related to another situation...the firewall. I
am running XP home edition, and I just got through upgrading to the SP2. The
Firewall is now grayed out so that I can not enable it. I can open the
Firewall settings window, but it will let me neither enable or disable it. It
says that is being controlled by the Group policy editor or something. This
is strange because this computer is just sitting on a little linksys wireless
workgroup, there should be no active directory or anything.

I was wondering if there is a way to resolve either of these problems,
especially the firewall.

John,

The message "Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon
type at this computer." is pretty well known here.

What's the exact message about the firewall? XP Home won't join a domain, so
you're right - it shouldn't be subject to group policy.
