A lot of documents in my documents folder... How can you say there are no files to transfer? If you didn't know, you were better off not replying to this message. I need to know how to set a permission for a workgroup. Both computers have the same account name, and the guest account is turned on. I do not know what to do next. Anyone out there that does?

If there is nothing shared out, you have no share points. Also, since this is a workgroup, you need to have a user account on each machine.

I tried to access the client , I can see it in 'my network places' but as soon as I try to enter it, I get the 'You might not have permission to use this network resource..blabla' Guest access is turned on on both machines. They both have 2 different users as I al unsure on how to set that up and don't want to mess up the work settings. I can connect to the internet fine with the 2000 machine via the XP server. Even if I turn off my firewall(setup on the server) , I cannot access the client. If anyone can help, that would be appreciated.

My test peer-to-peer network stopped working and exhibited that error message when we would try and access network resources. I had changed no settings. It just stopped working. After dickering around for a while, I removed the ICF - Internet Connection Firewall - from all the clients on the workgroup. Voila! My network is back. I do not know what really caused the problem, but I will be forever mindful of the ICF - a feature I don't really understand to be honest.

I don't know if that is true but I do have a guest account. That creates another problem. Windows XP requires that every single account need to have a password. If a single account doesn't have password, XP lets nobody to log in remotely. So you need to set password to guest account. Normally Windows XP doesn't let you to set password for Guest account. In order to set it you need to go to Control Panel \ Administrative Tools \ Compute Management \ Local Users and Groups \ Users. Then select Guest and with a right click select "Set Password". I don't know if this helps you but after these changes my sharing started to work! I also did enable "Remote Desktop" from System. And did select users with "Select Remote Users...". I don't know if that is required but that is what I have. After all of this I can share folders and acces them from the other machine. However, I need to provide user id and password. That is a minor problem since on the client machine you can select to save these. Note also that I am not able to use Guest account (although I had to set password to it). I need to use a real user account. Somebody mentioned that firewall cannot be on. That is not true. My internet connection has firewall on and the sharing still works.

I too was having the same network sharing problem and came here looking for hints. I tried all of the suggestions I saw here but nothing seemed to help. Next I discovered that by disabling Norton Antivirus and setting it to not activate at boot up, I would reboot and have full access to my shared network files. The next thing I did was enable NAV and as soon at it became active, BAM! No access to shared folders. I tried this test at least 5 times to prove to myself that it was happening every time, and it did the same thing all 5 times. Last night I sent an email to Symantic tech support describing this problem. I have not heard back from them yet. If I learn anything I will post a follow up.

I've searched everywhere and tried everything and was beginning to lose hope until I came across this. Thanks for the help! I would still like to know why my workgroup became messed up in the first place if anyone knows. My situation is this: I have a mixed environment of Windows 2000 Pro, XP Pro, and a single NT machine which I was replacing. As soon as I took the NT machine off of the network the workgroup was no longer visible although I could ping and search other machines. So I plugged the the NT machine back into the network and the workgroup became visible again. It has to have something to do with something that is housed on that NT machine but I can't figure it out. If anyone knows the answer to this I'd be very interested in knowing how that works. Anyway, this solution has worked excellent as a work around, although I have about 20 more pc's to change.

Here's how to change node type to mixed. run regedit. go here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters when you click on parameters you should have "DHCP Node Type" or just "Node Type" (I had DHCP Node Type) Change the value to 4 (mixed type).

My network was working fine but now two of three computers can not see shared folders. All three computers are using XP home. I have downloaded the "windows resource kit tools" and added the lines suggested through cmd. I was able to change my "DHCP Node Type" from 0 to 4on one computer but the other computer doesnot show "DHCP Node" or "Node Type" in regedit. Any suggestions on how to put it back?

I was able to browse, and access some files, but for some reason I was not able to browse large folders. (Eg I could browse \\computer\a and \\computer\a\c\d, and access \\computer\a\c\d\file.zzz, but I couldn't list the contents of the large directory \\computer\a\c) This appears to be the crucial step in fixing the problem (changing my hybrid node to mixed) - Dave On Thursday, March 30, 2006 at 5:32 pm, Mike wrote: >I've tried all the above fixes and none of them work.

Problem: ======== I made a PC to PC or Peer to Peer network. One computer was able to acces the shared files on other but other computer was unable to access the share resources on the first computer. The error says: "xxxxxx is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permissions." In the bottom line it gives the description as: "Logon Failure ...". The Background: =============== I have two computers, running WinXP Pro SP2 on both machines. I wanted to establish a Peer to Peer or PC to PC network between them so that: 1. I can Share my internet connection between them 2. Share my files and printer between them One PC had direct dialup access to internet. I would Name that PC as A. While the other PC was to connect with PC A to use the internet. I would name the other PC as B. Both PCs were having NIC cards (LAN Cards) and connected with a RJ45 cable. Making the network: =================== 1. So I ran "Setup a home or small office network wizard" on both computers. On PC A, while running the wizard, I selected "This computer connects directly to the internet ...." and For the internet connection I selected the internet connection that I would use to connect to the internet. On PC B, while running the wizard, I selected "This computer connects to the internet through a residential gateway or ....". Personally I ended up with an error that the wizard was unsuccessful, on PC A (perhaps because of the internet connection). But on PC B it ran successfully. 2. Then I enabled Local Area Connections on both PCs and waited a reasonable time to let them connect with eachother. There was a Yellow Icon on Main Connection Icon (two small computers) in task bar on both PCs stating that there would the limited or no connectivity. PC A Configuration: ------------------- 3. Now I right-clicked on the internet connection and clicked on "Advanced" tab. There under Internet Connection Sharing I checked the first two i.e. "Allow other network users to connect through this ..." and "Establishe a dial-up connection whenever a computer on my network ....". NOTE: In Advanced tab, The section Internet Connection Sharing would NOT appear if Local Area Connection is not Connected. 4. After internet sharing is enabled, I go to my Local Area Connection's Properties and then in General Tab selected TCP/IP and then properties button. Here My IP address was 192.168.0.1 subnet mask was 255.255.255.0 Default gateway was blank. I entered 137.101.128.140 in preferred DNS server. Alternate DNS server was left blank. 5. Then I clicked the "Advanced..." button and under WINS tab I clicked Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP PC B Configuration: ------------------- 6. Now I went to PC B. I right-clicked on Local Area Connection's properties and then in General Tab selected TCP/IP and then properties button. Here I selected "Use the following IP Address" In IP Address I entered: 192.168.0.2 In Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway was NOT left blank here, I entered: 192.168.0.1 (remember the IP Address of PC A) I also selected "Use the following DNS Server Addresses" In Preferred DNS Server I entered: 137.101.128.140 (Same as PC A) 7. Then I clicked the "Advanced..." button and under WINS tab I clicked Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP (Same as PC A). The Problem Comes: ================== Now at that point the problem comes PC A was able to acces the shared files on PC B but PC B was unable to access the share resources on PC A. The error says: "xxxxxx is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permissions." In the bottom line it gives the description as: "Logon Failure ...". What I had succeeded in was: - PC A can access shared resources on PC B. - PC B was browsing internet explorer while using the internet connection at PC A (if PC A was connected to the internet) What I had failed in was: - PC B cannot access the shared resources on PC A. In PC B's network places -> view workgroup computers the PC A can be seen but inaccessible. Resolution: =========== I tried the following resolutions and succeeded: 1. I went to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy. Then under Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options I doubled clicked on "Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts". I selected "Classic - local users authenticate as themselves" Some Other resolutions I tested in the way to solve this problem: ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2. I enabled guest account (Control panel -> User Accounts -> Guest Account -> "Turn On the guest account") 3. I setup a password for the guest account.

If you are running a firewall like Norton Internet Security, temporarily disable the firewall. Then test your network connections. If you are then able to connect to your other computers, this means that you have to configure the local network inside the firewall. Many of the firewall programs have configuration wizards that will help you resolve the problem. Check the website of the firewall vendor.

The process outlined below has worked flawlessly for me! If you're having this problem, you should start here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913628 Here's a quick rundown: 1. Run -> regedit 2. Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa" 3. In the right pane, double-click restrictanonymous. 4. Make sure that the value in the Value data box is set to 0, and then click OK. 5. Close Registry Editor. 6. Restart your computer! I hope this information will be useful to someone else suffering from the same ailment. It worked like a charm for me! :) I have absolutely no idea how or why the value got changed in the first place... but either way, it works perfectly now!

In this case the user account is disabled (which does not need to be enabled in a domain environment) and it gave this error on accessing only 1 domain controller. Unfortunetly, this is where printers were being mapped from via a GPO so it needed to see this domain controler. We are not using WINS so NetBIOS was not a factor. After trying almost everything under the sun, we setup a wireless access point and connected the laptop via that. Using the wireless connection it saw the problematic Domain Controler just fine so we narrowed it down to the on-board NIC. I downloaded and installed updated drivers for the device from the OEM (this was an IBM T60 laptop) and rebooted. Once the new drivers were in place it was able to connect to the DC just fine using the wired connection. If all else fails, try new NIC drivers!!

You might not have permission to use this network resource. Access is denied. When attempting to access a shared computer on the network. Note XXXXX is the IP address or the computer name of the Windows XP-based computer. Resolution: 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK. 2. Locate and then double-click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa 3. In the right pane, double-click restrictanonymous. 4. Make sure that the value in the Value data box is set to 0, and then click OK. 5. Close Registry Editor. 6. Restart the computer.

If you have DHCP enabled on your network try creating fixed IPs for the PCs you have problems with. Start at something unlikely to be used such as 192.168.0.150 - and make sure you enter your gateway and DNS etc for everything to work. I tried this on a network that uses Ethernet and wireless which had previously been all wireless and had worked flawlessly - when I strung a few machines together via Ethernet they refused to talk to each other. Giving just those machines fixed IPs sorted everything as the wireless machines remained working.

My problem is that I have an XP PC, which worked fine until I upgraded from XP SP1 to SP2. Now the PC works fine for a couple of days, then all of a sudden, BAM, I get the error :- ""\\pcname\root is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Windows cannot find the network path. Verify that the network path is correct and the destination computer is not busy or turned off. If windows still cannot find the network path, contact your network administrator." I get this even if I try to acces the shared drive on the local PC! I reboot the PC, and everything is fine again for a few days (or sometimes a few hours", then all of a sudden it recurrs again. Does anyone have any ideas? I seem to be foxing most of the mega-techies with this one. Someone please help. Cheers. Shizaro.

(Only necessary for pre XP SP2). - All 3rd party firewalls are disabled, uninstalled and deleted (until connection is working). - PCs have the same workgroup (helps, but not essential for XP/2K, necessary for 9X/ME). Allow 15 mins after rebooting a PC for that PC to appear in the workgroup, or for it to see all other PCs. Or you can search for the PC by its computer name. Additional things to check if you still have problems: ----------------------------------------------------- - Check your Services are Started on all PCs: Workstation, Server, TCP/IP Netbios helper, Computer Browser. - XP gives access to its shares via the Net Guest Account. Net Guest Account is enabled by default in XP (XP pro only)LOCAL SECURITY POLICIES: "control panel(classic view)/administrative tools/Local Security policies" -------------------------- USER RIGHTS ASSIGNMENT - Access this computer from the network-->add guest - Deny logon locally-->remove guest - Deny access to this computer from the network--> check that Guest is not here SECURITY OPTIONS Network access:Sharing and security model--> Guest only - local users authenticate as guest ((this is the part that worked for me)) and obviously we all want our shared drives to be password protected... at least i do in start click run and type "control userpasswords2" click the advanced tab at the top and then the advanced button in advanced user management click users then right click guest for the context menu and click set password and finaly click "proceed" and give it a password.........

I went through all contributor's methods before your thread, finally I can make 2 laptops access each other and desktop can access 2 laptops but 2 laptops can't access desktop. and your thread just gave me useful tips, I checked the permission setting of fold shared on desktop and realized there was no "everyone" or "guest" account associated.... I added "guest" account. everything works very well now. thanks to all posters here. to do some little conclusion: philips's method is must, NetBios via TCP/IP is unnecessary. hope this helpful.

Back to the top RESOLUTION Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.To resolve this issue, set the value of the restrictanonymous registry entry to 0. To do this, follow these steps:1.

Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. 2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters 3. Click Edit, point to New, and then click DWORD Value. 4. Type IRPStackSize, and then press ENTER to name the value. Note Type IRPStackSize exactly as it is displayed. The value name is case sensitive. 5. Click Edit, and then click Modify. 6. In the Data Value box, type the value that is appropriate for the network, and then click OK. The more machines accessing at a time, the higher this value should be.

You can access shares on workgroups faster and easier by creating a LMHOSTS file which resolves the computer name to an IP address quickly. Use this HOSTS & LMHOSTS Page http://www.svrops.com/svrops/documents/hostsdoc.htm for instructions on setting up a LMHOSTS file. Its easy, quick and efficient. Just add the computers name and IP address that you need to access in the LMHOSTS file and reboot, you can than use IE to view that computers shared files by entering \\computername in the address bar. Then you can assisgn it a network drive letter and have it available when ever you boot the computer.

I've tried so many things on this (and other forums) that I was losing hope. What finally did it for me was going into the "LOCAL SECURITY POLICIES" under "USER RIGHTS ASSIGNMENT" and "SECURITY OPTIONS". After making the suggested changes (and NOT even having to reboot!), the remote PC at the house was able to print to the networked printer (my issue was I could log into the remote PC just fine, but I never could log in FROM the remote pc TO the Host PC (the one with the printer attached. The funny thing is I would always see the the NAME of the host PC from the remote PC when trying to add a networked printer, but it would NEVER show any printer attached to the host PC). Ahhhhhh.

Here's another ridiculous possibility that I came across in the process. I found that I could access some sub-folders within a folder but not others. It turned out that those which could not had different security settings. To explore this possibility, right click on the miscreant folder, select Properties and click the Security tab. In the bottom frame, if the ticks in the "Allow" column are not greyed out, this means that the folder has not inherited its security permissions from the parent folder. To resolve it, click on the Advanced button, then tick the box near the bottom that says "Inherit from parent the permission entries ...." If you want to change the security properties for all files, navigate to the highest folder in the group being shared and carry out the above action, and also click the box below that says "Replace permission entries on all child objects ...." If the highest folder doesn't allow access to Everyone, click on one of the Permission entries, click Edit, click Change, type the word "Everyone" and click OK In my case I have absolutely no idea how this problem happened. I have never set seperate permissions for individual folders. All I can say is well done Microsoft! It takes some rare skill to turn something that should be as simple and seamless as file sharing between two computers, owned by the same person, sitting in the same room and connected by a single cable, into a topic for hundreds of online forums and a task that can take up the whole of an afternoon.

After taking hints and looking around, I found that the Network DDE DSDM and Network DDE were disabled. I manually started them and I could see the ip address of my computer. For all the help, I've seen, I have not had anyone hit on this one. It's just that I have been a network admin and know the value of services. I should have started from that angle but at least I got to it. So determine your issue first through some analysis. Being able to ping your loop-back address and not your IP is a sign of software issues especially if you are still able to have DNS access - internet. Pinging your default gateway is also another indicator that this isn't a serious issue (provided it returns). Also, to me, this is a soft attempt to fix the problem. Getting to the regedit stage or turning off applications that were running and are still running the same as before the issue is the next step. Mind you, I'm not saying that those steps won't be necessary but go softly. The suggesting in XP pro is a good one but if it doesn't change anything, change it back to what it was. Screenshot your existing condition when you can so that you know what to get back to - that's in general. Microsoft's knowledgebase is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314067/ an amazing step in looking at all of tcp/ip issues.

Mapping works well as long as I do it by assigning a drive letter and NOT doing it through "My network places". I believe this happens because the user that I have on the headquarters has a different password than my local user. When I map the network drive letter, then "My Network Places" allows me to make a mapping too. As soon as I cancel or disconnect the network mapping (leaving just the one in my network places) it stops working again. The difference is that I can mark "Logon as a different user" on the mapping but not on the Network Places. Is there any way I can tell network places to ask me for a user and password? BTW, the reason I don't want to keep the drive map is that it is very very slow. The link works quite fast on My network places. On mapped drive it is terrible. Slows down everything on the computer.

There were a lot of solutions on all kinds of sites including this one, but none of them worked for me except the steps below. Hope this helps someone out! 1) Open Network Connections 2) Right click the wired or wireless connection you use to access the internet (for example, I use "Wireless Network Connection") 3) Select "Properties" 4) Select "install" then "protocol" then "add" 5) From the list select "microsoft tcp/ip version 6" and add it 6) Again select "install" then "protocol" then "add" 7) From the list select "NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS compatible transport protocol" and add it 8) Press OK or close 9) Go to the "advanced" menu at the very top of the network connections window (6th menu along) 10) Select "advanced settings" 11) Select the connection you use to connect to the internet 12) Under "file and printer sharing" tick tcp/ip 6 and nwlink. untick any others 13) Under "client" tick tcp/ip 6 and nwlink. untick any others 14) do steps 1 to 13 on all computers on your network 15) restart all computers 16) for me at least (running two laptops both with xp pro, and one desktop with xp home) all computers can now see each other and access shared folders and printers with no problems at all. no warning messages, no delays!

[Reply or follow-up to this message] Connecting Win 7 computer with Win XP Home computer Tuesday, May 18, 2010 at 6:14 pm Posted by Bob Stimson (1 messages posted) Ok - this one worked for me. I have a Windows 7 computer and a Windows XP Home computer connected thru a router (wired). Tried most of the previous ideas with no luck but when I added the "microsoft tcp/ip version 6" protocol to the XP computer they could both see each other fine. Thank you so much Grover. I was about ready to give up and call someone to do it for me.

I had Guest listed there, and it was the cause of my problems. I have no idea how it got there. Solution 'b' worked for me. It makes sense, cause I could see one computer from the other computer but not vice versa. The one i couldn't see was denying access to Guest. The Guest accont is improtant for networking, it shouldn't have been denied network access.

[Reply or follow-up to this message] re: You might not have permission to use this network resource Tuesday, December 6, 2011 at 9:24 am Posted by IceChisel (1 messages posted) Philip, I went to a site describing how to install IPX and found this at the end of the page: Note: If the client workstations are using Windows XP Home Edition, you should avoid installing IPX. The Novell client software is not designed to work with Windows XP Home Edition because it is not considered a business-class operating system. The client software should work normally in a Windows XP Professional environment. I have the problem mentioned, but I believe both computers are running Home Edition. Not sure where to go next.
