Help! Can only log on as Guest to other machines. [Windows XP Pro]

I'm running WINXP Professional.

So, here's my problem. One day, my computer stopped allowing me to log into anyone's computer with any account other than guest. When i try to log in, it has [WORKGROUP]/Guest grayed out in the USER box and prompts me for a password. Its driving me batty trying to fix it. I hate being That Guy who has to ask others for help, but I don't know where to turn.

Ok, I know what ForceGuest is, and its disabled. Besides, that setting is supposed to affect others logging onto your computer, not you logging onto theirs.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

First, try connecting to other PC' by typing this on the command line:


net use \\other PC name\ipc$ /user:a user account on the remote PC "password of the user on the remote PC"


that shoud do the trick

A good trick is too: if it's a workgroup (ie without a Domain/DC) define every account (with identical password) on every PC, and the wonders of Pass Through Authentication will do the rest for you!
