I have a customer using a small workgroup.
They have 2 computers networked together via a hub.
They also have an external Jet Direct serving 2 printers.
One computer is running Windows 2000 Pro, the other
running Windows XP Pro. Both systems are fully serviced
packed and up to date. Everything works fine except for
one problem. The Windows XP computer can access the shared
drive on the Windows 2000 computer, but the Windows 2000
computer CANNOT access the shared drive on the XP computer.
When they try, they get an "Access is Denied" error
message. The funny thing is that is was working fine until
recently. My thinking is that one of the users changed a
setting somewhere along the way. I have tried everything I
could think of to fix it, to no avail. (Short of wiping
out both machines and reloading both o/s's, which is the
very last resort). Any feedback would be greatly
appreciated.
If you get an answer to this please let me know. I have the same problem
with (2) PC' running XP Home. Driving me crazy. Also when I connect my
laptop running W98, my problem is identical to yours.
This is error message I get:
Error Message - "\\Buddy is not accessible. You might not have permission
to use this network resource.
Contact the admistrator of this server to find out if you have access
permissions."
"Logon failure: The user has not been granted the requested logon type at
this computer.
Thank you.

Will do Larry, hopefully I'll solve it soon. Very
frustrating.

I am having a similar problem. Suddenly I can't find my
daughter's laptop and when I log on her unit --- it can't
find my laptop. I get the access is denied --- don't have
permission message. We are linked through a Linksys router
and we both still have internet access. No one has changed
any network settings. I'm beginning to wonder if it has
anything to do with the latest Microsoft critical updates
which I downloaded and installed last week. That's when the
problem seem to start. Any ideas????

Misery loves company. I'm having virtually the identical
problem on my home network. I have almost the same
topography as you describe, except both affected
computers are desktops.
Any ideas on where we could find out for sure if the
patches caused the problem - and what to do now, would be
sincerely appreciated.

MOre company for the same problem, I have a small company network running file server NT4.0, upgrading MS 95 machines to MS XP. everything was working fine when one person running MS XP was trying to print a DOS report (Yes, DOS) on his local printer when it came up with a memory problem. He rebooted and we could no longer attach to the server network drive, same response you are getting, Drive not found, cannot logon, may not have permission, etc. Tried rebooting NT server and MS XP workstation, disconnected network drive and would not allow to reconnect. I could go across the network to my machine and look at shared files and go to the internet. It's like the NT server is not plugged in but everyone else can get to it. I know he didn't change any settings since I have admin control and he does not. HELP???
I had the same problem and found that while I had my firewall disabled in
windows, Norton Internet security also had a firewall I had to disable. As
soon as I did that, all was solved.

1. Make sure you have the same IP scheme (e.g. 192.168.0.x).
2. Make sure you have the same Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS IP addresses.
3. Make sure you can ping the other computer's IP address. If this fails,
make sure you turn of XP's firewall.
4. Make sure you can ping the other computers by name.
5. Make sure you have the same workgroup name (watch for trailing spaces)
6. For troubleshooting purposes, turn off XP's and any other firewall
software. You can always add more complexity after you get it working.
7. With XP, make sure you have the same username and password as the person
logging onto the other computers. The default setting for XP Pro is to
require a password for network access.
There continues to be a lot of misinformation about needing NetBEUI or to
changing the NetBIOS setting. You can ignore both. Installing NetBEUI to
solve a networking problem will just mask a some underlying and potentially
important misconfiguration with TCP/IP. The default NetBIOS setting works
fine so there is no need to change that either.
