Solution for enabling Guest to access the network in XP

Windows XP system has Guest enabled and network access is not available. The fault is solved as follows:

Why is Guest still unable to access

1. By default, Windows XP disables Guest account

2. By default, Windows XP's local security policy prohibits Guest users from accessing the network

3. By default, Windows XP's Local Security Policy - User Rights Assignment, “ Users can only log in to the console. It is enabled. That is to say, any account with a blank password cannot be accessed locally from the network. The default password is empty. Therefore, if you need to use Guest to access Windows XP, you must Make the above three settings: enable Guest, modify the security policy to allow Guest to access from the network, disable the security policy in 3 or add a password to the Guest.

When accessing Windows XP, the user name in the login dialog box is gray, always a Guest user, and cannot enter another user account.

The reason is that this security policy is at work (management tools - local security policy - security options - & ldquo; network access: local account sharing and security mode & rdquo;).

By default, Windows XP access mode is "only guest", then you access it, of course, it is fixed as Guest can not enter other user accounts.

So, the easiest way to access Windows XP is to not have to enable Guest, just modify the security policy above to "Classic". Other systems can access their own account information by accessing Windows XP
