XP filesharing a no go

[Keego]

I can see the computer in XP (it is also an XP computer) and I try to get into it, I get the following error message:

\\blah is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.


Guest is enabled, any suggestions??

I had this trying to connect my XP machine to my win98se machine. I saw the win98 system in the workgroup, but it would not let me connect!

I went to the command prompt and typed the following...I am on @Home and the win98 machine had a name of c12345-a. I have a router but never did change its name to a non@home name!

try...

net use \\c12345-a\c

Then map the drive.

You can do it all at once by trying...

net use Z: \\c12345-a\c

This should map it to Z:

Now, mine works without doing a net use!

I had this problem in XP as well, it turns out XP defaults to only use guest accounts to connect to each other, give me a sec and I will post the instructions on how to change it back

OK try this

goto admin tools and then local security settings
Pick Security Settings
Scroll down until you find this
Network Access:Sharing and security model for local accounts

Change this from Guest only to Classic

that should fix your problem
