Chuck, I have tried everything I can think of. I had a worm,
W32.Spybot.Worm, which I took care of with symantec in safe mode. I think
either local security policy, or ICS is messed up because of it. When
accessing local security policy, I get an error message stating that group
policy may overright whatever I change. The windows firewall settings are
greyed out, and cannot be changed because of group policy, even when I sign
on as admin (actually all users are admins). I also get an error message
that ICS services have not started, yet when I look at service, ICS is
started. Any thoughts?? I am a network admin for my employer, and tried
every trick in the book. I changed setting from advanced sharing to simple
sharing, didn't work. Changed back to advanced, no change.
Bob,
That's fine. And expectable. Generally, most folks try everything that they
can think of. Just try and remember that we are not in front of your computer
with you, and we don't know what you can think of.
Now if you try things, and try what I'm suggesting simultaneously, you may solve
the problem, or you may mess things up worse. I'll start by asking you to read
my tutorial on solving problems. Make one change at a time, please.

Now, your earlier problem report referred to "a home network with static ip
addresses". Is this a workgroup, or a domain? GPO can be a pain to deal with.
Is Guest disabled in your GPO?
Now the immediate experience here, about the specific error message "user has
not been granted the requested logon type" is to ensure that the account in
question has network access authority. Remember that the computer referred to
in the error, as "this computer" refers to the server, or the computer that
you're trying to access.
Remember that, if you're using Advanced File Sharing on the server, and you have
an identical non-Guest account setup on both the client and server, that's the
account referred to. Or it could be referring to the Guest account, with either
AFS and no non-Guest account, or with SFS.
Now network access authority requires adjusting a pair of Local Security Policy
lists, under User Rights Assignment.
1. "Deny access to this computer from the network".
2. "Access this computer from the network".
# If your server uses Guest authentication, "Guest" must NOT be in list #1, and
"Everyone" must be in list #2.
# If your server uses non-Guest authentication, your properly setup, and
activated, non-Guest account must NOT be in list #1.
So start by deciding whether you're using Guest, or non-Guest, authentication,
and go from there.
