Re: [XP] they see each other, but access denied When you rename a username, it actually keeps the old account name, it's only the public name that changes.
Rename that one back to whatever it was before (so you don't get confused).
Then create a new, matching user from scratch. You can always copy the stuff between accounts from one "My Documents" and "Desktop" folder to another, so don't worry about that trouble. But you may have to reconfigure some software to your liking or reset some cookies.
Sorry that it's like this. But it's like this.

| ok, on my laptop, i created an account with the exact same name and password as my other computer. i then had to do the xp home network setup again. i moved all my documents from the old user to the new user, and then deleted the old account. rebooted and tried to access again, and still get the same messages.
next suggestion? |

kudos:5 | Node Type - XP Home Small Network Setup How-To Both of your machines mention "node type: unknown" ... which really doesn't deal with sharing, security, and authentication but deals more with how to find a machine.
It can, however, cause the error you reported, "YOURSRVR is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource."
Still, see Default Node Type for Microsoft Clients. Personally I use b-node very successfully. The registry entry here is valid for XP.
If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what's going on. You should step through these two articles and see if we've forgotten to mention anything.
How to Set Up a Small Network with Windows XP Home Edition - Part 6
How to Set Up a Small Network with Windows XP Home Edition - Part 7
And if anything looks drastically different between this tutorial and your setup, let us know. It could be that some option was changed/added and that would be our clue...

| hmm,well the first link wasnt much help...the steps were for windows 2000, NT, or 95...I'm running xp...
i look at the regestry values as if i were running NT, and didnt understand what i was looking for...
i went to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters
but this is all i saw:
BcastNameQueryCount REG_DWORD 0x00000003(3)
BcastQueryTimeout REG_DWORD 0x000002ee(750)
CacheTimeout REG_DWORD 0c000927c0(600000)
EnableLMNHOSTS REG_DWORD 0x00000001(1)
NameServerPort REG_DWORD 0x00000089(137)
NameSrvQueryCount REG_DWORD 0x00000003(3)
NameSrvQueryTimeout REG_DWORD 0x000005dc(1500)
NbProvider REG_SZ _tcp
SessionKeepAlive REG_DWORD 0x0036ee80(3600000)
Size/Small/Medium/Large REG_DWORD 0x00000001(1)
TransportBindName REG_SZ \Device\
all this info is exactly the same for both computers
do you know what it all means? |

1 edit | said by tlarkins:hmm,well the first link wasnt much help...the steps were for windows 2000, NT, or 95...I'm running xp... Yep, that's why I said, "The registry entry here is valid for XP." Perhaps you overlooked that.
Most of the Windows 2000 entries are the same between these two OS's.
said by tlarkins:i went to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters do you know what it all means? Most of it.  There's nothing in there that is screaming "Change Me!"

tlarkins, I know you stated in your earlier post that you had disabled your firewall... but man, it really, really sounds like what you get when a firewall is enabled and blocking somehow...
Would you double-check to make sure it is disabled, after the steps above, I would have thought for sure you'd be sharing by now.
I think you already did, but make sure file & print sharingis checked.
Now, just to make us happy, create a NEW account on both PC's with the same name called "newaccount" or whatever, but make sure it's completely different from the other account names you've been messing with, and make sure they have the same password. |

| windows xp firewalls for both systems are disabled
file & print sharing are enabled for both systems
both systems have new accounts and passwords that match identically (this was a royal pain)
status unchanged though.
could my router be the problem? i mean, i am using wireless for my laptop...could the router be denying access? i have looked, but haven't seen anything screaming at me. |

If the router was denying access, you would get a "cannot be reached" error. You're getting "access denied" which means that you're getting through.
Do both of these systems have the same "Node Type" when you run IPCONFIG /ALL?
