HI all. I have a home network with 3 PC's. They are connected through a
router to the internet: A desktop uses windows XP PRO and a wireless
connection, a laptop uses Windows XP home and a wireless connection and a
desktop using a windows XP Home and a LAN ethernet connection (cable). They
all have Windows firewall active and exception as remote desktop flagged.
When I display the computer workgroup I see all 3 of them but cannot access
any of them. (the reason I want to access them is to transfer files from one
PC to another). With the GUEST user account not active (on any of them) when
trying to access I do get a prompt windows asking for a password: the User
name is the PC_name\Guest. If the Guest user account is active I do get a
differet message "Not able to access "PC_Namexxxx". The user may not have the
necessary authority to access and use this network resource. Contact the
administrator. The user did not get the right access type requested for that
PC"
Can anyone help me providing instruction on how to solve this thing? I mean
Either instruction on how to assign/create a password to the account
"PC_Name\Guest for each PC or how to unlock and provide the right authority
and access to the PC's in the workgroup.
Thanks in advance for you help.
