getting Guest login prompt attempting to access wrkstn via "Run" cmd.

[mlchris2]

I have 30 XP pro workstations on a domain. I am able to access each machine as long as I am using a domain user accounts with privledges.

I have 3 XP pro workstations that belong to a workgroup, have the same IP address as other workstations and are used by developers. I set the security on these workstations up...

When I try and access 2 of these workstations from my domain pc from the "run" command, I get a logon as prompt(asking for username and password), so if I enter a local user and password, I connect just fine. On the 3rd workstation, if I try and access, the logon as prompt appears, but it already has a defaulted, non-changeable user of \\workstation name\Guest. I disabled the guest account previously, so if i enable it, enter in the password, I still cannot login.

What might be causing this? I tried everything in my toolkit and have been unsucessfull.

Thanks in advance

Remove the Simple File Sharing on that computer (My Computer, Tools, Folder Options, View tab, Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)). It's the last option in the list.

Remove the check mark.
