I have a network ste up at my house, and it was working fine untill all of
the sudden, I couldn't access my desktop from my other computers. I need to
be able to access the desktop because thats what the printer is hooked up to.

I have three computers on the network. A desktop running XP home sp2, a
laptop running 98 SE, and a laptop running XP media center edition version
2003 sp2. I can access files between the two laptops fine, and i can access
files on the laptops from the desktop but i cannot access files on the
desktop from either of the laptops.

on the laptop running 98, when I try to access the desktop, it asks for a
password. I never specified a password, because i am on an encrypted network.
When I try to access the desktp from the laptop running media center edition,
I get the following message:

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

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


what can i do so i can access that computer again. like i said, everything
was working fine untill suddenly i couldn't access the desktop.

Thanks for your help.

Clayton,

That's a well known problem, but with XP Home, it will be a small bit of work.

Some obscure network settings have become corrupted on the desktop
computer. Here's how to fix them:

1. Download and install the Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit Tools
from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=4544 .

2. Click Start | All Programs | Windows Resource Kit Tools | Command
Shell.

3. Type these lines at the command prompt. The second and third
commands are case-sensitive, so type them exactly as shown. Note the
"+r" in the second one and the "-r" in the third one:

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

I tried doing that, but now I get the message:

Myworkgroup:

have access permissions.
