Frequently asked questions about connecting to a local area network

Setting up both computers as follows should resolve the issue.

1. Control Panel Management Tools Local Security Policy Local Policy In the user rights assignment, add the guest account in "Access this computer from the network", and delete the guest account in "Refuse to access this computer from the network";

2. My Computer Tools Folder Options View Remove the check mark before "Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)";

3. In the Control Panel Management Tools Local Security Policy Local Policy Security Options, set "Network Access: Sharing and Security Mode for Local Accounts" to "Guest Only-Local User Authentication for Guests".

Come back to me if you have questions.

1. Make sure that the LAN network is connected.

2. Make sure that the IP settings are correct.

3. To ensure that the protocol is installed correctly, especially check network sharing and printing.

4. Make sure there is no network password.

1.Enable the guest user.

You can leave the password unset, so you can log in (mutual access) by entering only guest. However, you need to ensure that the following policies are enabled.

Click Start Run and enter to open Group Policy. Click Computer Configuration Windows Settings Security Settings Local Policies Security Options, and find Account: Local users with blank passwords are only allowed to log in to the console.

When enabled, it can't be accessed remotely with a blank password, disabling it is fine.

2.Unban guests

1) Open Group Policy, click "Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policy, User Rights Assignment", and double-click on the "Deny access to this computer from the network" item to see if there is a guest, if so, please delete.

2) Still in the above Group Policy, double-click on the "Access this computer from the network" item to see if there is a guest, if not, please add.

3) Still in Group Policy, click "Computer Configuration Windows Settings Security Settings Security Options", double-click "Network Access: Local Sharing and Security Mode", and change the default setting "Guest Only Local Users to Guest Authentication" to "Classic Local Users to Authenticate by Themselves".

Also, if you can only see the file directory of your Windows XP computer, you can't enter the folder.

This is because Windows XP defaults to a simple way to share files, which can be modified: in Explorer, click on Tools Folder Options, and in the View tab, uncheck the box in front of "Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)" in Advanced Settings.

1. Control Panel Management Tools Local Security Policy Local Policy In the user rights assignment, add the guest account in "Access this computer from the network", and delete the guest account in "Refuse to access this computer from the network";

2Turn off the firewall.

3. Add the Netbui protocol.

If not, there is a problem with your network cable.

He doesn't have sharing, or he has a firewall.

In the Tools folder options view, select "Use Simple Share".

Both machines are to be in the same workgroup.
