When you share a Folder from a Windows XP machine, you might not able to access to it even you see that computer in it's work group, any time you attempt to access to, you receive a error message like
- \\[SHARE] 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.
- Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer
When ran into it, you can consider one of two solution I found from others over Internet. It might help a lot.
