Huh? "Login failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer"

Please help. I'm a pretty experienced Windows user and programmer, but I've
got to admit this one has me stumped.

- I'm running Windows 2000 Professional on two computers, both members of
the same workgroup.
- I'm logged in as X on computer 1, and I'm trying to map a shared network
drive on computer 2.
- Computer 2 has a user called Y.
- User X only exists on computer 1. User Y only exists on computer 2
- Both users, X and Y, have administrator priveleges on their respective
machines.
- The share on computer 2 gives all access rights to "Everyone".

On computer 1, I try to map the network drive on computer 2. It asks me for
a username/password to authenticate.
I supply Y's credentials. The message I get is:

    "Login failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type
at this computer"

Now, the strange thing is that this has only begun to happen recently. In
the past, I have been able to map this drive with no problem, giving Y's
credentials on computer 2. Two things have changed:

1. I've recently changed Y's password
2. I recently ran chkdsk to fix a bad block on computer 2, and it deleted
some DLLs. (I don't know what was deleted because the list flew off the
screen before I had a chance to copy it.)

Here's another possible piece of evidence:

Even though the two computers are in the same workgroup, I can't get
computer 1 to see computer 2 in "Network Neighborhood".

Does this situation sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks in advance!
