Network access lost after installing SP3 on XP Home Edition
I have several computers running a combination of XP Pro, XP Home Edition, Vista and Windows 7 on a home network. I just updated the XP Home Edition to SP3 from SP2 (the XP Pro is running SP3). After doing that, I lost the ability to access files on the XP Home Edition from the other computers. I have granted share privileges, and can see the computer in my workgroup. But when I try to access the share, I get the error message \\Name "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. Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer."I'm the administrator. How do I grant the necessary privileges?Thanks very much for your help.1 person needs an answerI do too
