computers). Since installing SP2, we are having trouble sharing files on one
of the networked computers (the other two work fine). Specifically, a)
shared folders and files on this computer do not appear in My Network Places,
and b) although we can view the workgroup computer in My Network Places, when
we try to access it, we get the error message: "Logon failure: the user has
not been granted the requested logon type at this computer."

The problem and the solution are on the XP Home computer that can't be
accessed. Run XP's Network Setup Wizard on that computer -- that's
sometimes all that's needed. If that doesn't fix the problem:
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

You're welcome, Todd. I'm glad that it worked for you. Thanks for
the report.

I have the same problem as Tod H, with 2 wireless computers unable to access
a third computer wired to a router, even though that computer can be seen in
workgroup computers. I get the message "Logon failure:the user has not been
granted the requested logon type at this computer." I used the solution from
Steve, by downloading the 2003 Server Resourse Kit Tools, and entering the
required text. Now I get an "Access is denied" message. Any suggetions.

Run the Network Setup Wizard on the third computer and see if that
solves the problem.
If it doesn't, please reply to this message in the news group (not by
E-mail) with more information to help other people understand the
problem:
1. Does the third computer run XP Home Edition or XP Professional?
2. If it runs XP Professional, is simple file sharing enabled or
disabled?
Big Boopa
Home. One of the wireless computers is running XP Pro, but that one does not
seem to have any problem sharing files. The original error message (about
logon type) had "Windows Explorer" written in the title bar, however the new
message has the workgroup name written in the title bar. The message itself
refers to the computer that will not share files. I don't know whether this
is helpful or not. I'm thinking of running the network wizard again on the
problematic computer, and if that is not successful, repeating the 3 steps
from the Server Resource Kit.

Running the Network Setup Wizard on third computer might help. I
don't think that repeating the steps from the Server Resource Kit will
help -- they're specifically designed to solve the "Login failure"
problem, and you've already done that.
On the third computer, run the registry editor, open this key:
HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
and make sure that the DWORD value RestrictAnonymous is set to 0.
Reboot the third computer and try accessing it. If that doesn't fix
the problem, compare the registry values for "Lsa" on the third
computer to the values on an XP Home computer that shares
successfully.
Big Boopa
RestrictAnonymous was set to 1. I have not attempted to change the value yet.
I assume that I would simply change the present value 0x00000001 (1) to
0x00000000 (0) by typing over it.
Thanks, Mike

instructions here. When I run "regedit.exe" I cannot see anything that looks
like the "HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa" key mentioned. Am I
missing something obvious?

"HLM" is an abbreviation for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE". The full path to
the registry key is:
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

You're welcome, Mike. Yes, it's an obscure fix. I've found one
mention of it in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Error message when you try to access a Windows XP-based network
computer: "You might not have permission to use this network resource"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913628/en-us
This fix is specifically indicated when:
1. You can access a computer's shared folders directly (e.g. by typing
"\\computer\share" in the Start | Run box, or by mapping a network
drive), and:
2. You're denied permission when you try to get a list of all of the
computer's shared folders (e.g. by typing "\\computer" in the Start |
Run box, or by clicking the computer's icon in My Network Places |
"View workgroup computers").

I just wanted to let you know that I have also been grappling with this
issue for a week now and came across your post. I followed your instructions
and IT WORKED! This is awesome. It seems that I had tried everything...I
unistalled my Zone Alarm Firewall, I reset registers, re-ran network wizard
(it seems a hundred times) and nothing worked until I tried your commands.
Thanks for great assistance. I know it's probably not cut and dry but, what
can cause this to get hosed up to begin with? I run CA eTrust Anti-virus and
Zone Alarm firewall...I just can't understand how something could have
slipped through to mess me up. Any ideas so that I can prevent it from
happening again? Thanks again...and my wife thanks you as well (it was her
laptop that couldn't get to our networked printer).

You're welcome, Dave!
Windows XP Home Edition validates all access requests from other
computers via the built-in Guest account. The first "ntrights"
command turns on a setting that allows Guest access on the network.
The second "ntrights" command turns off a setting that denies Guest
access from the network.
I don't what causes the problem. I'm not aware of anything built into
Windows XP Home Edition that can change those settings, but I see the
problem several times a year in the Windows XP networking news group,
and it happened once on my computer.

I am getting the same logon failure message when my XP ties to access
the Vista (Vista can access XP though). I have made it down your check list
as far a running the resource kit on the XP. When I type the first command
line I get the message "yes" is not recognized as an internal or external
command, operable program or batch file. The other command lines were
accepted, but I still get the logon failure message. Suggestions?

If XP can't access Vista, the problem and the solution are on the
Vista computer. In that case, there's no reason to install the
resource kit and run the commands on XP.
I haven't tried installing the resource kit and running those commands
on Vista, and I don't know whether they work on Vista.
I recommend posting your question in the Vista networking newsgroup.
