Ok guys I had this problem and actually came to this forum to try and resolve it - I ended up resolving it myself after trying a few of the ideas/solutions listed here.
My situation:-
Working on my cousins lappy (XP HOME SP2), joined it to my network of 6+ PCs and Inet Gway so I could DL patches and trransfer cool files to and from it

Connected fine to my Personal Use/Work PC (XP PRO SP2) and my File server (XP 2003 SERVER) but when I tried to access my Music Server/Entertainment Box (XP PRO SP2) I got "the Error" we all know and loath!
What I did to resolve:
Using Remote Desktop Connection (RDP) Accessed the PC that would not allow the connection ie Music Server/Entertainment Box.
Then proceeded to:
Start>
All Programs>
Administrative Tools>
Open Local Security Policy
In the left pane under
Security Settings>
Local Policy>
Clicked on Security Options
In the right pane I changed the 2nd Policy from the top
Accounts: Guest account status to DISABLED
Immediately upon doing so I was granted access, remember I am working on my EntBox via RDC from my Personal PC with my cousins lappy beside it for easy access.
