Thoroughly eliminate WinXP and 2000 mutual access issues

First of all, here do not consider physical connections and other issues, only talk about strategic issues. 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 many descriptions of the problems on the Internet, and we will not repeat them here. Please consider the following steps when there is a problem with sharing and access: 1. Check if the guest account is enabled XP does not open the guest account by default, so for others to browse your 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 cannot access it at all, please check if the setting is to refuse the guest to access the computer from the network, because XP does not allow the guest to log in from the network by default, so Even if you open the guest, you can't access it. Unlock the Guest account when the system Guest user is enabled, click “Start →Run”, in the "Run” dialog box, enter “GPEDIT.MSC” to open the Group Policy Editor, in turn Select “Computer Configuration & Rarr; Windows Settings & Rarr; Security Settings & Rarr; Local Policies & Rarr; User Rights Assignment & rdquo;, double-click "Reject access to this computer from the network" strategy, delete the "GUEST" account. 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 logged in from the network according to the guest account, so even if the administrator logs in from the network only has the permissions of the guest, if you encounter the situation can not be accessed, please try to change the network Access mode. Open the Group Policy Editor, select “Computer Configuration →Windows Settings →Security Settings→Local Policies→Security Options", double-click "Network Access: Local Account Sharing and Security Mode” Policy, Default Set “only guest & mdash; local user since guest authentication & rdquo;, change to “ classic: local users authenticate with their own & rdquo;. 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 do not 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 problem We may also encounter another problem, that is, when the user's password is empty, even if you do all the above changes can not log in, the access will be rejected. This is because, in the system "Security Options", there is a "Account: Local account with a blank password is only allowed to log in to the console" policy is enabled by default, according to the principle of rejecting priority in Windows XP security policy, password An empty user will be banned when accessing a computer using Windows XP over the network. We just need to disable this strategy to solve the problem. In the security options, find the "Local account with a blank password only allows the console login" item, disable it, otherwise you will not be able to 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.
