Re: Logon Failure: The used has not been granted the requested logon



That indicates that the user account does not have the user right for access
this computer from the network. Users can only access shares on XP Home
computers as guest and you should not try to use any other credentials, just
click on the share in My Network Places and that should work if network
sharing has been enabled in XP Home. If that error message still pops up
then it sounds like the user right for XP Home for access this computer from
the network has somehow been modified. Unlike XP Pro you can not use Local
Security Policy to view user rights but you can download the free program
called Dumpsec from Somarsoft to see the user rights on an XP Home computer
which should show that the everyone group is included in the access this
computer from the network user right and that guest or everyone is not
included in the user right for deny access this computer from the network.
The only way I know how to manage user rights on an XP Home computer is with
the Resource Kit tool called NTRights. --- Steve

NTRights and FYI the user right is case sensitive as in SeNetworkLogonRight
for example.
