Cannot access computers on the network

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

I have a network running XP Home on 3 laptops and 1 desktop. All computers
can use the internet and printers fine. One laptop (IBM) can share files with
the desktop but the other 2 laptops (both the same make etc) give the error
"The user has not been granted the required login type at this computer" when
I try to access them from the desktop or the IBM laptop.
All the references to this error message say to go to Control
Panel>Administrative Tools>Local Settings but XP Home does not have this
option on any of my computers.
How do I set "Allow access from a Network' in XP Home?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the suggestion but this seems to be more and access issue than
file sharing. The computer won't let anyone access it which in XP Pro would
be Local Options - in Home there is no such thing so I'm stumped. Any other
thoughts??

Cheers -John
