Access Denied message...

If you are networking XP Pro and XP Home and can't access the Pro box from the Home one, try this solution.

Might be very useful, PR -- I recently noticed I had only 1/2 a network. No biggie since I never actually set one up, but I noticed my Pro box sees the Home box, but not the other way around. I'll check it out, thanks!

Nice find... I see that question on the forums quite often; this should come in handy.

I've got one XP Home PC talking to 2 XP Pro PC's without any issues and I never did any of that stuff, all I did was run the networking wizard, does the wizard do this for you?

It's supposed to but sometimes the Pro box blocks all access. This seems to work on those occassions.

Others may disagree, but I never run the Network setup wizard. I always go into the Network properties and setup protocol and network bindings manually. Seems to work best for me.

I totally agree, I try to avoid any kind of XP wizard tbh as I like to know what's going on and I find that if I do things manually I'm kept in the loop (so to speak) :-)

IMHO Gandalf is the only wizard worth bothering with

This also might be the solution for the access denied message, it was for me.

Check this location in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA

The DWord RestrictAnonymous should be set to 0 to allow access to your shared folders. If it is set to 1, it will cause the access denied message to come up.
