Hello, I am using windows XP pro using advanced share/security settings...
I have been trying to get my computer to accept network connections for some
time now, and have finally been able to get a login prompt from another
computer.

I try to log in to \\Brajah\ with my guest account using the password I set.
After that, I get an access denied error. At first I assumed it was because I
didn't have any shares, but after creating some shares and trying again it
will still not let me access \\brajah\. In attempt to get something to work,
i tried to access \\brajah\incoming, and boom, everything works fine.

Is there some setting that I have to change to allow guest accounts (or any
account for that matter) to browse the list of shares available?

Thanks in advance.
