I am having the exact same error message. I have tried resetting the
tcp/ip stack, and flushing the dns ...
> netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
> ipconfig /flushdns
> ipconfig /registerdns
... mostly because the microsoft help center seemed to think it would
solve my probs. But alas, no dice... :(
I've also tried disabling windows firewall.
My situation is this:
5 *brand new* computers have been purchased by my company. They are
running XP Pro 2002 SP 2. This morning, all of them could connect to
our file server by using a run command: "\\fileserver", or
"\\fileserver\share". This afternoon, my computer cannot successfully
run this command. When I don't specify a share (eg "\\fileserver") I
get the error:
"\\fileserver 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: user account restriction. Possible reaons are blank
passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction
has been enforced."
When I *do* specify a share (eg "\\fileserver\share"), I am repeatedly
prompted with a username/password dialog ("Connect to fileserver").
I can circumvent this problem by mapping a network drive to the share
on the fileserver, and supplying the appropriate username and password.
Once the map is established, I can then access all the shares on the
fileserver with the run command! However, even if I set 'reconnect at
logon' checkbox, the connection is NOT restored after a restart, so
this solution isn't satisfactory for me. I know it's a small thing, and
it sounds petty, but it drives me crazy having to enter the
username/password after *every* restart.
The strange thing is, that this error has only been occuring since *I*
have been using the computer. My colleague was able to install some
programs from the fileserver just before this started happening to me,
so I must have made some change to the network settings... I just don't
know what I could have changed to cause this behaviour! (I think it
hates me)
Not only are the other four computers are still able to access the
server without creating a mapped drive, but I am able to access shares
on those computers without a mapped drive! Which makes me wonder if its
a setting on the server that is the problem...
Has anyone got any idea what I've/we've done wrong? :(
