XP Pro Does Not Prompt for a Workgroup User Name and Password
Both of my machines (Computer1 and Computer2) are running XP Pro SP3.Computer1 has 3 accounts: Admin1, Limited1, and Guest1 (enabled).Computer2 has 3 accounts: Admin2, Limited2, and Guest2 (enabled)Both Admin accounts have different user names and passwords.Both Limited accounts have the same user names and passwords. The file sharing works just fine between these two accounts.My problem is when I try to use Admin1 to access Limited2 or Admin2 to access Limited1, XP does not prompt me for a user name and password. I get the error message that “computer name” is not accessible . . . the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.If I create the same Admin credentials on either machine, file sharing will work just fine. However, I do not want to create the same Admin account on both machines. Can someone please share their knowledge as to why XP will not allow me to logon as a Guest on the client network or prompt me to enter a user’s name and password? Thank you.1 person got this answerI do too
