Re: Network or security

Sounds like you need to get events logged and retry so you
can get some info. If you can log into win4 with that account
(at keyboard) if may be it is not allowed network login (which
is default if there is no password on the account). Anyway,
event log entries may guide you.

When you attempt to authenticate, say to machine named BoxX
are you using BoxX\username or just username? Use the first.
Are you logging failed login in the audit policy of BoxX?
If so, what is being recorded.

The XP box name is "win4". From the server (dell), I tried
"win4\administrator" and "administrator" and both returned the
"credential" error. The last security event on the win4 box was on
Christmas day. A policy change. Hmmm.... I was playing around with the
policy on the server. I am such a hack!

Audit Policy Change:
New Policy:
Success Failure
- - Logon/Logoff
- - Object Access
- - Privilege Use
- - Account Management
- - Policy Change
- - System
- - Detailed Tracking
- - Directory Service Access
- - Account Logon

Changed By:
User Name: WIN4$
Domain Name: RICKEL
Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E7)
