I have cable ISP. I have a router set up to go to 2 of my
machines. Both machines are running Win200Pro. I can map
from machine A to machine B and see its hard drive but I
cannot map from machine B to machine A. When I try I get
this error message:

The mapped network drive could not be created because the
following error has occured:
Login failure: the user has not been granted the request
logon type at this computer.

Both machines are logged in as Administrators. I cannot
figure out what I am missing. If anyone has any
information it would be appreciated. I tried the
knowledge database but I couldnt find anything on my
situation.

Thank you
 
Are both computers in the same workgroup and are both computers using the
same password?

Both computers are logged in as administrator and require
no password to be logged on. If you have Yahoo IM I am on
now. My user name is ljmacad. Thank you
 
Both have the same workgroup name "Workgroup"

Check if all the necessary services are running on both computers (compare
them). Check if the faulty computer has the 'access this computer from the
network' rights, in Local Policies somewhere.

Try using the Windows (full) Explorer and choose TOOLS/MAP
NETWORK DRIVE and select "Connect using a different user
name" and use a different account on the other computer.

Add a password.
