"the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer" on windows xp pro

I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 on a LAN and when I try to connect to a
Windows XP Pro SP1 on the same LAN I get an error message that reads smth
like this: "The user has not been granted the requested logon type at this
computer". Trying to connect vice versa results in the same message being
displaed on the other PC. What's the problem here?

Check the"access this computer from the network" permissions.

Are you logging in locally to the machine or into a domain? And I didn't understand the 'vice versa' part. Are you trying to logon on to both machines and getting the same error message?

Can you logon with another account? On both?

Let's say the pc's are named PC1 and PC2. PC1 runs Windows XP Pro SP1 and
PC2 runs Windows XP Pro SP2. Both PC's are in a workgroup on a LAN, i.e.
there is no domain. So I try to browse PC1 from PC2 or PC2 from PC1 (the
"vice versa" part) I get that error message. I use the Administrator account
with the same password on both machines. The Guest account is enabled on
both machines as well.
This is the scenario and I only want these machines to be able to browse
each other.

Ok, go to the KB (see below) and use "user not granted logon type" as search terms. There are a lot of possibilities.

And you can do a couple of checks. On PC1, go to a Command Prompt. Type:

NET USE * \\PC2\C$ /USER:PC2\{a different user name on PC2 than the one you logged in on}

It should ask for a password, since the name you're logged in on doesn't match the name you asked to connect as.

Enter password. Does it work? What is the error message?

Yes, I manage to log on to the other machine when I specify user/pass but I
only want to be able to browse that machine without specifying user/pass
(probably as a Guest, but the Guest accounts are enabled on both machines).
I could not find any resolution to this problem in the KB
Any other ideas?

I do not believe Guest has the necessary privileges required to "browse". And certainly NOT the '$' shares. This would be a bad security model.

As for even basic browsing, I believe that having to establish a known user account connection is the only way to go. I don't know of any other method.

But I'll keep thinking about it.

Hope this helps.
