Hi Everyone. I have an NT box that cannot authenticate to an XP box. I can see the XP box in Net Neighborhood, I just can't authenticate to it. This is the result of downloading the security updates.

Any help with this would be appreciated....Thanks...Michele

is there an account on the xp box for the nt user, with exact name and password the nt user uses to logon?

i have solved the xp authentication problem. it seems that when i downloaded security pathes (i can't remember which ones right now) it changed the local secutity settings to a policy that only authenticated users could logon. i tried to change the object of the policy to computers but i couldn't save it so i used users as the object and added all local accounts. if anyone has any comments send them....
