I have installed two XP machines today, and there is no problem with the network connection, but I am not able to access each other. Depressed ing
... I have been in the Internet for a long time, I finally solved the problem. In fact, it is a disaster of XP's network access rules.
Open Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy, Select Local Policy -> Security Options. You can find the following rules:
First, "Account: Enable local accounts that use blank passwords only allow consistence logins". That is to say, if you want to access the access to other machines, your account must have a password. Because I didn't set a password for the account, so I was busy for a long time.
Plus your login's account with your password, if you allow Guest access, add your password.
Secondly, "Network Access: Sharing and Security Mode" of local accounts "is generally selected" Only guest-local users since the guest authentication ". In this case, the account used by the user is actually a guest account, so a guest account must be enabled. In this case, the user can also access the shared file without entering the username password, but cannot access the default shared folder. To access the default shared folder, you can choose "Classic-Local User Use your own authentication" so you can access the default shared folder through the username password. If your machine's current account is the same if the login account username of the machine to access is the same, it is also easy to verify that the username password can also be accessed.
Through the above introduction, I hope that you can help you understand some of the security mechanisms of Windows XP.
