I have an XP Pro box, that will not users connect over the network. The
right "Access this from the network" does not and will not keep the users
listed. The default is Administrators,Users,Power Users,Backup Admins. The
settings will not save. If I go back in the users are missing. Is there a
fix for this?

TIA

Not sure if this will help, but at least has some relation:

1) Check that the "Server" service in Management Tools
is running, and set to Automatic start.

2) In Local Security Configuration\Local Directives\
User rights assignment\Access this machine from the Network.
Check that user groups are added in this policy.

Hi Tim:

Look for security policies in the Management Console:
Start\Control Panel\Management Tools\Local Security Directives
or in... Start\Run\type; secpol.msc and hit enter.

Regarding services,there are a few other services that should be running,
they are all related to network access, EG: Computer Browser Service,
and others related to Clients and Network... those are enabled by default
and unless someone has made any changes they should not be causing the
problem. .

Here are some pages on how network shares should be configured and
how to grant access to user groups, plus how to access those shares quicker
by means of shortcuts or typing the share in the Run command,
and more info you should find interesting and may help you find the
solution.
