dont have local security policy

[crazy]

Hi I sure hope someone out there has a answer to my problem!

Ive created a home network between 2 pc's both running XP home, they both recognise each other, one is called bell(pain) and other compaq(butt), compaq can access bell but bell cant access compaq with the error message:

Logon failure the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer

all users names are the same, the network is called workgroup theres no discrepancies in names of users or network pc's and as u can see above each pc has a unique name.

SO after 3 days of hair pulling and searching the net all the forums say the solution is to change the settings in admim tools, local security policy settings, my problem is my computer doesnt have local policy settings in admin tools folder!!!! No one mentions wat to do under those circumstances. only thing it has apart from main admin tools ie services is netframework

please help.

Try to set your network settings on automatic.

And yes, you don´t have GPEDIT.MSC also a lot of networksettings are not shown like on XP pro.

You could do everything by hand in the registry, but that will be hard if you´re going to do that for the first time.

PS, make sure all services are running, like SERVER and WORKSTATION (if XP Home has them, (almost sure ))

Use SERVICES.MSC in your Start->RUN...

yep have checked services and workstation are running

not sure what you mean by set newtwork settings to automatic unless u mean from managing my computer/services if so yes they are all set to auto. Still doesnt work

but thanks for your reply and help

Automatic - Automatic getting IPs and that kind of stuff... try other names with no capitals.. No special characters.
