Win XP LAN settings and inaccessible solutions (1)

Since Windows XP constitutes the same operating system network settings as Windows 2000, but there is still no access at all, I think this is mainly because XP security settings and 2000 are not the same. In response to this problem, the author checked some information on the Internet and tested various common solutions provided online. Now I will introduce it to everyone, I hope that I can help the users who have encountered this problem, and please continue to give pointers to the experts. .

First of all, physical connections and other issues are not considered here, only strategic issues are discussed. In addition, please install the corresponding protocol and set the IP address correctly, and try to set the computer in a working group and have the IP address of the same network segment.

Secondly, there are more descriptions of the problems on the Internet, so I won’t repeat them here. Please consider the following steps when there is a problem with sharing and access:

1. Check if the guest account is open

XP does not open the guest account by default, so some others can browse you. Computer, please enable the guest account. At the same time, for security, please set a password or corresponding permission for the guest. Of course, you can also set a username and password for each machine so that computers can access each other.

2. Check if the Guest is denied access to the machine from the network

When you open the guest account but still can't access it at all, please check if the setting is to reject the guest from the network to access the computer, because By default, XP does not allow guests to log in from the network, so even if the guest is opened, it cannot be accessed. Unlock the Guest account when the system Guest user is enabled. Click Start→Run. In the Run dialog box, enter GPEDIT.MSC, open the Group Policy Editor, and select Computer Configuration→Windows. Settings → Security Settings → Local Policies → User Rights Assignment, double-click the “Deny access to this computer from the network” policy, delete the “GUEST” account inside. In this way, other users can use the Guest account to access the computer using Windows XP system through the network.

3. Change the network access mode

XP defaults to all users logging in from the network according to the guest account, so even if the administrator logs in from the network, only the permissions of the guest, if If you are experiencing an inaccessible situation, try changing the access mode of your network. Open the Group Policy Editor, select "Computer Configuration→Windows Settings→Security Settings→Local Policies→Security Options", double-click the "Network Access: Sharing and Security Mode for Local Accounts" policy, and set the default setting to "Guest Only - Local User" Guest Authentication", changed to "Classic: Local users authenticate with their own identity."

So even if you don't open the guest, you can log in to the computer you want to access by entering your local account and password. The local account and password are the accounts and passwords already on the computer you want to access. If you need an account and password to access the network, you can log in by entering the account and password already on the computer you want to access.

If you don't change the access mode, you may not be able to enter the username and password. //computername/guest is grayed out. Even if the password is empty, you can't make sure to log in without opening the guest. Change to the classic mode, at least as long as the case of not opening the guest account in 2000, you can enter the user name and password to log in to the computer you want to enter. Maybe you will also encounter a special situation, please see the next one.

4. A noteworthy question

We may also encounter another problem, that is, when the user's password is empty, even if you make all the above changes, you can't do it. Login, access will still be rejected. This is because, in the system "Security Options", the "Account: Local account with blank password only allows console login" policy is enabled by default. According to the principle of rejecting priority in Windows XP security policy, the password is empty. Access to a computer using Windows XP over the network is prohibited. We just need to disable this strategy to solve the problem. In the security options, find the "Local account with blank password only allows console login" item, disable it, otherwise you can not log in even if you open the guest and change to the classic mode. After the above changes are basically accessible, you can try to choose a method that suits you. Here are some additional questions you might encounter.
