First time here so hello!
I have an XP Home SP2 PC, a Vista Home Premium laptop and an Orange Livebox router. My network is all set up, I can see each computer from each other and open my Vista laptop from my PC but not the XP PC from the laptop.
When I try i get this message
\\PC is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network reource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer
I read an article that said to change a setting in the local security policy, however I believe that XP Home does not have this facility
PLEASE help as this is driving me nuts. Many thanks in anticipation of your help
Leonard

Most of the time these problems are because of a firewall. What firewall do you have on the XP computer you're trying to access?

 OK OK I can't go any faster! aaaaaaaaaaaagh!

Here is the equivalent registry key change:
On the XP machine, make sure the restrictanonymous registry key is set to zero. Go to Start > Run, type regedit and press Enter.
In the left pane navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa . In the right pane, double-click restrictanonymous and make sure that the value in the Value data box is 0 (zero).
To be prudent create a system restore point before making any changes to the registry.

Whoa!
Technical illiteracy may mean you don’t know what I’m talking about.
I mean a simple restart!

There are two restrictanonymous keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa.
Just check that you haven’t changed the wrong one. The restrictanonymous key should be zero and the restrictanonymoussam key should be one.
