File/resource sharing problem over existing wireless network

My existing wireless network was working fine until the laptop hard disk
crashed last week and I'm in the process of rebuilding it. The nework was set
up as follows:

- Laptop running XP Pro, McAfee firewall (trusted IP addresses set).
Connects directly to internet via broadband
- Desktop running XP Home, McAfee firewall (trusted IP addresses set).
Printers directly connected to this machine. Connects to internet through
laptop via wireless network
- Linksys Access Control Point

Both machines can ping each other. Both machines have the same folders set
for sharing.

Laptop can access shared folders on desktop and print through the desktop.

Desktop can 'see' laptop via 'view workgroup computers'. However, when try
to connect to laptop from this screen, via start-run-"cmd" or drive mapping
get error:

"\\Clive-laptop is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you
haqve access permissions. Logon failure: the user has not been granted the
requested logon type at this computer."

Having read through postings to this forum, the Guest account has now been
enabled on both computers (though it wasn't originally). This still hasn't
worked. The restrictanonymous and restrictanonymoussam registry keys are
unchanged at 1. The server service is running on both machines.

The problem must be with the laptop as everything worked before the hard
disk crash... Any suggestions?

Many thanks.

Clive,

On the laptop, check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control Panel - Folder
Options - View - Advanced settings) is enabled or disabled. With your LAN, you
need to have SFS enabled.

Did you enable Guest using Start - Run - "cmd", then type "net user guest
/active:yes" in the command window?

On the laptop, check your Local Security Policy (Control Panel - Administrative
Tools) - User Rights Assignment, and look at "Deny access to this computer from
the network". Make sure Guest is not in the list.

On the laptop:

1) Simple File Sharing was already enabled
2) Guest was already enabled
3) Guest was not on the "Deny access..." list

So it was not these. By the way, when I type in "Net view clive-laptop" to
the cmd window on the desktop, I get the error "System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied."

Regards,

Clive.

On the laptop, click Start, click Run, type:
Regedit (hit enter)

Next, locate HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

Ensure that "RestrictAnonymous" is set to 0.

Close and reboot.
That should solve it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've set "RestrictAnonymous" to 0 on both
machines and rebooted. I still have the problem.

In the network properties of each machine, do you have Client for MS
Networks and File and Printer Sharing installed (Also, on the xp pc, do they
have checks next to them?)

Thanks for the suggestion. I've looked at both machines and Client for MS
Networks and File and Printer Sharing were installed and they had checks next
to them. So, I still have the problem.

Clive.

Please send me the IPCONFIG info from each PC

Click Start, click Run, type: cmd (and hit enter)

Type: ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt (and hit enter)

Use Notepad to open c:\ipconfig.txt and copy and paste entire contents into
your next post.

Thanks,
Carey
