I have a home network with several XP Pro computers. I am having a hard time
connecting to most of the computers thru My Network Places. One computer that
is able to connect to the other computers has the "Connect to" diaolog box
come up. I enter the domain\user name and password and I can connect to the
other computers. On the computers that don't connect this dialog box does not
come up and I think the wrong logon is sent. I used ethereal to look at the
communications and the following  error is sent back
"STATUS_LOGON_TYPE_NOT_GRANTED". I can VNC to all of the computers from any
computer.

Mike,

With Windows XP Pro, you have 2 choices:
1) Enable the Guest account on each computer, for network access.
2) Disable Simple File Sharing on each computer, and enable a non-Guest account,
with matching password on all computers, for network access.
Whatever the choice, you should do this uniformly.

Chuck,

Thank you for your reply. However, what I found on 1 of my XP Pro systems
under User Rights Assignment " Guest" was entered under "Deny Access to this
computer.."
On another XP Pro system no groups where entered under "Access this computer
from the network". I made changes to these two items and this allowed file
sharing on these systems. I have a XP Home system and I think it has  a
similar problem. I have to load Ntrights to see if it has the same problem.

Those are two occasional causes of your problem.  You're on the right track.
Thanks for the feedback.
