I'm guessing it's some setting on the server. Anybody have a clue
where to find it?

Problem with the windows firewall perhaps?

If you're able to be more specific maybe we can help you fiddle in the right tune. <g>


We enabled simple file sharing and turned the firewall off altogether on more than one workstation -- no go. When I try to map a drive to a workstation with a shared folder, I get "Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer". When I browse to that computer in Network Neighborhood, the computer itself is visible, but the share is not. When I try "Map Network Drive" and type in \\thecomputer\theshare directly, I get the message above. When I select "Connect using a different user name" and try the main administrator name/password, or the local username/password for that workstation, I get the same error.

Every workstation is XP Professional SP2, completely up to date with Windows Update.

The only computer on the network that can share a drive is an ancient Windows 2000 box which is not part of the domain. It's in its own workgroup. That's why I'm thinking the problem is some system-wide security policy setting on the SBS server. Everybody logs in using the username/password that got set up on the SBS box.

What else can I tell you? What am I missing?
