Re: What does logon type mean???

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Sorry, I did not totally understand that I should set only the guest account.
When I set it the way you described and it failed I set another account.
Thats when it put a password on that account which I had to remove. I do not
get a logon request when I try to access the upstairs computer from
downstairs.

How do I fix this?

The problem and the solution are on the computer that can't be
accessed. Run XP's Network Setup Wizard on that computer -- that's
often all that's needed. If that doesn't fix the problem, keep
reading.

If the computer that can't be accessed runs Windows XP Professional:

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.

If the computer that can't be accessed runs Windows XP Home Edition,
the "secpol.msc" program isn't available. To make the required user
rights assignments:

1. Download and install the Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit Tools
from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=4544 .

2. Click Start | All Programs | Windows Resource Kit Tools | Command
Shell.

3. Type these lines at the command prompt. The second and third
commands are case-sensitive, so type them exactly as shown. Note the
"+r" in the second one and the "-r" in the third one:

net user guest /active:yes
ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u Guest

I tried everything You suggested. I am running XP Home. I downloaded and
installed the resource kit, did everything you said, (it seemed to add
passwords to the accounts I set rights on???), I still get no access from the
downstairs computer. Idon't get the logon failure message anymore but it
gets "access denied". Anything else I should try?

You're welcome. The commands that I gave don't add passwords to any
accounts. What tells you that they added passwords?

The only account that I suggested for those commands is the Guest
account. Did you set rights on any other accounts? If so, what did
you do, and why?

When you try to access the downstairs computer from another computer,
do you get a prompt for the Guest account password? If so, do this on
the downstairs computer to remove the Guest account password:

1. Click Start > Run.
2. Type "control userpasswords2" in the box, and click OK.
3. Click Guest.
4. Click Reset Password.
5. Click OK.

Make sure that any firewall program on the downstairs computer is
configured to allow access by other computers on the local area
network.
