Software / Networking 2 windows xp

What a pain the Windows XP Pro "Access is Denied" Network Error is.
My Network obtains the IP address automatically. It is not a fixed IP address. I have a Speedstream DSL modem and a Netgear router. I have no user or guest accounts. I just boot up in XP with no login. I have full admin priveledges and there are no passwords, since it's my home and I am the only one who uses both computers. The computers are nearly identical Windows Xp Pro SP2 systems.
The fix for me:
**************
Change security policy (Control Panel / Administrative Tool / Security Policy / Local Profiles / Security
Options / Limit Local Account Use of Blank Passwords to Console Login Only) from Enabled to Disabled.
thank you for all who posted this!
It didn't finally work until the above was done, but previously I had tried other things that may or
may not have helped set me up for the fix above:
-uninstalled Zone Alarm on one machine & closed Kiero Personal Firewall on other machine.
-I enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP on both machines, permissions granted for shares etc.
-In the regestry and changed the nodetype from unknown to hybrid
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters
Rt. mouse click and select New > DWORD Value
Name it 'NodeType' (without the quotes)
Rt. mouse click on it and select Modify
Set Value Data to '8' (no quotes)
Leave Base alone. 'Hexadecimal' should be selected
M$ docs refer to 1 as type "B", 2 as type "P", 4 as type "M", and 8 as type "H"
What this basically means is different ways of resolving netbios names.
1 = broadcast. The host sends a broadcast and the nodes which knows the ip of that name answers.
2 = peer. Sends the request directly to a wins server which looks up the name.
4 = multi node. I don't really remember but I think it starts with broadcast and if no answer does a
direct lookup from a wins server.
8 = hybrid. Not sure here either, but I think it starts with a direct request to the wins server and if
the server is unable to resolve the name it does a broadcast.
-Disable simple file sharing (well it was already disabled, but I double checked).
After everything worked I relaunched the Kiero personal firewall, and it still worked, so I'm keeping the
firewall active. I installed Kiero on the other machine because I figure it best to have the same firewall
application on both machines.
