[dba-Tech] Is this laptop any good?

John (and John):

The firewall was unclicked.  So I assume it's not active.  When I click the notebook icon from my main machine I get the message:

"\\Notebook is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource... etc.  

"Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested login type at this computer"

("Notebook" is the name of the new box.  Clever, eh?)

>From the notebook (which is XP Home) I can access the Main Machine (which is XP Pro) with no login.

>From the notebook I can also access my secondary machine which is W2K  but on the notebook when I do that it prompts me for a login.  I put in Administrator for the name and no password and I get access from the notebook to the secondary machine.

What to try next?

I've got several of the 'anomalies' in my network.  With the help of this list I hope I can finally get them resolved.
