I have three computers on a network running WinXp. I should be able to 
connect to them by typing \\192.168.1.x

When I try to connect to "\\192.168.1.2 I am presented with an explorer 
window with the shares and when I try to connect to the shares I am asked 
for a password and I can connect.

When I try to connect to the other share, I get

"\\192.168.1.3 is not accessible. You might not have permission to access 
this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out 
if you have access permissions.

Logon Failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank 
passwords not allowed, logon hours restriction or a policy restriction has 
been enforced."

Could it be that the <user> user account on \\192.168.1.3 has no password? 
The <user> account on the computer I am using to connect has no password 
either, but it has a password on \\192.168.1.2, however I can connect to 
\\192.168.1.2 by using the administrator account.

When I try to connect to \\192.168.1.3, it does not even ask me to log on, 
just the access denied message above, so I have no chance to use the 
administrator login.

Any ideas?

Ensure that there is a user account on the remote machine with the same 
username and password as the one being used to connect to it.
