Hi,

open and edit your local policy on your computers (Start -> Run ->
gpedit.msc and click OK).

Under Computer Configuration drill down to Windows Configuration -> Security
Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options.

Here look for Network Access: Sharing and security model for local accounts.
Double click on this policy and set the policy to "Clasic - local users
authenticate as themselves"

I hope this helps,

Mike
