Network Connection Always Shows Access Denied
Sunday, December 2, 2007 16:51Posted in category Networking Tips, Windows XP Tips
If you are always getting “Access Denied” errors when trying to browse or connect to another Windows XP computer while browsing your local network, and you know you have the correct user names and passwords set on the computer, the solution may be a simple registry edit.
- Go to Start -> Run – Type: Regedit and hit OK.
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Control / Lsa
- Change the value of a key called “restrictanonymous” to 0 instead of 1
- Don’t change “restrictanonymoussam” value.
- Now Reboot Your computer
