I have a Windows XP SP2 desktop machine. It can see everyone and access everyone's files across my Workgroup. No one can access the files it has shared. It used to work, but now it just... doesn't. If I go to Map Network Drive, I can SEE the computer (Mainserver), but if I click the "+" it shows nothing where it should show shared folders. If I manually type it into Run, it says "Access is Denied". I've tried every tutorial, every FAQ, nothing. The computers trying to gain access are on SP2. There are no passwords set on the workgroup. Please help. I've tried doing the network wizzard, enabling guest account, everything...

Disable the policy to deny connections with a blank password:

Start button-->Run-->gpedit.msc-->Computer Configuration-->Windows Settings-->Security Settings-->Local Policies-->Security Options-->Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only...
