Accessing Computer on Network: Access is Denied - Page 2

the desktop (running xp home) the laptop funing MC is pretty much always on
but it has a wireless internet connection and the other laptop is falling
appart so it's not used much

i went through all the steps you gave me to no avail. i'm starting to think
it is a lost couse and i will have to re-do the os.

I went into the event viewer and found something interesting. it seems every
time i try to connect i get this error:

Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
My email is AT DOT
actual address pchuck mvps org.

when i type in

net user clayton /active:yes

I get this:

this user name could not be found.

more help is avalible by typing NET HELPMSG 2221.

I tried typing in

net user \\cjslaptop\clayton /active:yes

but got:

The syntax of this command is:

NET USER
[username [password | *] [options]] [/domain]
username {password | *} /add [options] [/domain]
username [/delete] [/domain]

In a workgroup, you have to add and modify accounts locally, on each computer.
You'll have to go to CJslaptop, and do "net user clayton /active:yes" there.

For maximum use, though, user Clayton should be setup on each computer, with an identical, non-blank password.

Ok I added the user clayton on the desktop computer. they both have blank
passwords, and I even tried giving the user clayton administrative privilages
on the xp home computer, but it still isn't working.

OK, if we're talking about XP Home, then you're stuck with Simple File Sharing
and Guest authentication. So there you have to enable Guest for network access, and note the limitations.

i appologize that this may not be posted at the end of the thred but for
some reason when i click reply, this is the very bottom of where i can post.

I actually have my network working now. what i had to do is enter the
following into command prompt on the XP home computer

net user guest /active:yes
ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -g Everyone
ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -g Everyone

I had already tried with the first three lines, so when I was told to put
the second two aswell I had my doubts. Fortunatly it worked.

I would like to thank you for all your help. Although you may not have
givven the final solution i'm sure that the virus i got affected my computer
so much that everything i've done has been a step in fixing it. Thanks agin

Thanks for the update.
