Hi Guys,
I have a workgroup here with the following setup:
About 5 computers on a Workgroup.
Each user has a PC, and one logon per machine, which is the first name
of the person that uses that machine, ie Tom. There is no password
reqd when logging on. The machines are running XP (some Home, some Pro)
The problems started when one of the of the computers needed to be
formatted. This was done, and the computer was given the same computer name
and put on the same workgroup.
After formatting I recreated all the shares, and successfully connected to
the shares from all the other PC's on the network - so connectivity and
access rights to that extent are fine.
Now the only problem really seems to be that if I go to another PC,
say PC2, and try to browse the workgroup (via View Workgroup
Computers) I can see PC1, but when I click on it I get something to
the effect of "Cannot view \\PC1 .....access denied"
1. File and Printer Sharing is Installed
2. Simple File Sharing is on
3. Guest Account is on (someone suggested turning it on -didnt help)
4. Browse Service is started
5. NetBios over TCP/IP is on (Computers are on DHCP)
6. BROWSTAT shows me which PC is the master browser and didnt indicate any
other problems IMHO?
7. No Firewalls or Security Software running (Windows Firewall is completely
off)
C:\>browstat status
Status for domain WORKGROUP on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{C9ABCEA8-
CC14-417A-B8E1-C38EEBA8B74E}
Browsing is active on domain.
Master browser name is: EMMA
Could not connect to registry, error = 53 Unable to determine
build of browser master: 53

\\EMMA
There are 5 servers in domain WORKGROUP on transport \Device
\NetBT_Tcpip_{C9ABCEA8-CC14-417A-B8E1-C38EEBA8B74E}
There are 1 domains in domain WORKGROUP on transport \Device
\NetBT_Tcpip_{C9ABCEA8-CC14-417A-B8E1-C38EEBA8B74E}
I am wondering if its something to do with Local Security Policy or
Shared Folder Setup in computer management???
So to summarise, I can PING, and I can connect to SMB shares, but cant
browse the formatted PC, PC1, in the list of computers in WORKGROUP.
Please help,
Cheers

Using another computer, try to connect directly to a shared disk or
folder belonging to PC1, by typing this in the Start > Run box:
\\PC1\share
If that works, the problem you described is probably caused by a
registry setting. Run the registry editor on PC1 and open this key:
HLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA
Set the value RestrictAnonymous to 0. Reboot and try browsing PC1
again.
