Pulling my hair out over file sharing

I orginally posted this issue in the wireless forum - a couple of kind folks
tried to help but so far to no avail. I manage to isolate the problem to my
wired desktop computer so I thought I would try posting over here. Here goes:

I have a laptop and a desktop networked via a router. Laptop is wireless,
desktop is wired. Verizon DSL comes to both via the router.

Problem: Internet access is fine. I can access the laptop files from the
desktop fine. I can use the desktop's printer from the laptop fine. I CAN'T
access the desktop's files from the laptop. I get the 'you may not have
permission...access  denied'message.

Details:
Desktop is running XP Pro. Network connect is static IP.
Laptop is running XP Media Edition (this means it must be Home Edition,
right?) -wireless connect -DHCP.
Router is from Verizon - Westell Versalink

I can ping the desktop from the laptop
I turned off all firewalls - Windows and Norton
I took off the WEP security
file sharing is on - simple file sharing and switched to Advanced - didn't
help
I turned everything off and went to make coffee. Then turned everything on,
router first.
I made sure the user accounts have the exact same names.
System permissions are simple - anybody can do anything
I tried putting a password (identical) on each account
I switched the laptop to a wired connection
I connected a wired Windows 98SE machine (could get to the XP desktop files
from there)

Any ideas?

Check the properties on each protocol on the connection to
be sure you have the required protocols installed on each.
Make sure you have specifically shared a folder.  You don't
and should not turn the firewalls off, add each computer to
the trusted list.
Have you run the XP networking wizard on each computer and
do both computers show up in your workgroup list?

When you say "user accounts" are you referring to the individual
computer's workgroup name? For instance, the default workgroup name is
MSHOME, I believe, when you first set up a home netwoek through the
wizard. Maybe something got switched somewhere and they have different
workgroup names?

Good luck.

Workgroup names are just a cosmetic/organizational function. Windows
computers do not need the same Workgroup name in order to share
files/printers.

XP Media Edition isn't the same as Home. It is a subset of Pro. Just try
running the Network Setup Wizard on the laptop again, making sure you
answer "yes" to file/printer sharing. After you finish, if you are
running a third-party firewall you'll need to go to the Control Panel
and turn off Windows Firewall. Make sure your third-party firewall is
configured to allow lan traffic as trusted.

Pam,

The "...access  denied" messages has many causes.  Attack the problem
systematically, and it should be possible to find the cause.

Chuck, your blog is marvelous. I read every bit and checked every setting one
by one. Then I had to step away because it was making me really crazy. Now
I'm back after a long rest and re-read and tried everything again - one by
one, of course. Same result.

A summary of where I stand is:

- A Dell desktop running XP Pro SP2 is the server
- The desktop is wired to a versalink router
- I have two choices of client - Toshiba laptop XP MCE SP2 wireless and
Windows 95SE wired to router.
- All machines have identical accounts with identical passwords.
- The guest account is activated with identical password on the XP machines.
- I tried creating a new account just for test

result: Access denied error=5 using laptop or Win95 machine as client to
access Dell Desktop. Can access both the laptop and the Win95 as server.

There was just one thing that was a bit odd (I'm grasping at straws) - in
the security settings, user rights assignment, 'access this computier from
the network' - there is the list of familar items Administrators, everyone,
users, powerusers, there are two stranges ones: aspnet and *s-..... (where
..... is a long string of numbers letters and dashes) - could that meaning
anything?

No firewalls are on, Norton Internet Security is completely removed (as far
as I can tell, how can I know for sure...)

any thoughts?

Hi Pam,

First, thanks for the feedback.  Any time I see "your blog" and "marvelous" in
the same sentence, I feel that I've accomplished something.  But enough back
patting, I see "any thoughts?" at the end of the post.

Let's take an easy approach, and start by reviewing your setup.  Let's look at
"browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each computer, and try and diagnose
the problem.  Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions
precisely:

Here goes, as requested:

Background Information

Delldesktop running XP Pro SP2, bblaptop running XP MCE SP2. Simple file
sharing on both. File permissions are set. Account is an administrator
account, Guest account is on.

When attempting to view shared docs bblaptop as client, Delldesktop as
server message is ‘\\Delldesktop\shareddocs is not accessible. You might not
have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of
this server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied.’

I believe that I am using guest authentication because I am using simple
file sharing.
I’m not seeing anything in the event viewer that looks at all relevant.
Retrictanonymous is set to zero
It’s hard to say what happened new to cause the problem because there was a
fair amount of time when I didn’t even try to access data via the lan
however, four events that I can think of – from the sublime to the trivial -
are:
•    I had a flood in my office, 6 in. of H2O killed the delldesktop. I
replaced the motherboard and it came back to life
•    Installed sp2
•    Installed Verison DSL
•    On a whim decided to change the user accounts from first and last name to
first name only on one of the machines (can’t remember which) and changed it
back when the problems started.

I am using a static IP connection to the router for the desktop – this was
after a long long process of getting the Verizon dsl to work.

Pam,

Well, "access denied" is a normal error, when you're using Simple File Sharing,
for any administrative access.  For instance, browstat doing a registry lookup
on the master browser will always get "access denied".  Or, attempting network
access to a protected folder or share, such as (but not limited to) "C$", "C:\",
"C:\Program Files", or "C:\Windows" will always get "access denied".
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/mysterious-error-5-aka-access-denied.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/mysterious-error-5-aka-access-denied.html

But, if you're getting "access denied" when you try to access any normal
(non-admin) shares, you may have a problem.  If you do, it will most generally
be a personal firewall error.  Which shares are you trying to access?  Be
specific here please.  Maybe provide "ipconfig /all" from bblaptop too.

Did you follow the complete instructions from Symantec?  I used to do a yearly
un install (previous years version of NAV) / re install (new years version of
NAV) because NAV sold in the store, with rebate, was way cheaper than paying the
yearly (and ever increasing) subscription fees.  Then I realised it was far
easier to re format and re install Windows XP, and all apps, so I did that for a
couple years.

Finally, I re formatted and re installed Windows XP, and installed another
antivirus.  And never looked back on Symantec again.  And as of last fall, I am
completely S$ free on all computers.

Are you sure that you un installed all components in NIS?  Let's see if Autoruns
(free) from SysInternals can help.  Run Autoruns on DELLDESKTOP, and get a
Protocol_Catalog9 extract.

Chuck, right it is definitely not an admin share. In my desperation I even
set up a share for another folder – also not admin – same result.

On the NIS un-install – it was an OEM version of NIV 2004 – I did follow the
Symantec instructions, although I wish I had some positive proof that is was
successful – the add/remove programs appeared to complete successfully on all
Norton/Symantec programs and they strongly stressed not to run the utility
that they provide if add/remove worked – so I didn’t. I did go with a
different firewall for the re-install (once I solve this problem!) but bought
another copy NAV. I came to Norton in the first place because I had an issue
w/ McAfee.

Here is the Autoruns Catalog9 Extract. I compared it to your attachment A

I looked at your instructions on winsock repairs but did not follow them as
I have no problems connecting to the internet – if you meant for me to try
this, please let me know.

I do apologize for not following your instructions on the bottom post….

Thanks so much for you kind attention.

Chuck, I'll top post this one because it is the end.

YEAH!  I turned off simple file sharing - deleted the share, restart,
created a share, and restarted. Voila!

Somehow I missed the link that suggested that the first two times I worked
my way through the links. In any case, that worked. I guess I'll never know
what really caused it.

In any case, thank you so so much for your help and for your blog. You are
the best.

I am having a similar problem.  I have a XP Media Edition hooked up to a
wireless router.  Also hardwired to the router is an XP Home Edition.  I also
have a Vista Laptop that is wireless.  THe problem is I can';t access my
files, even thouh it appears they are fully shared, that are on my XP Home
machine.  Any suggestions?

help. Please post back with the result.
