File sharing on my local area network of Windows 2000 machines just stopped working a few weeks back. On investigation and head-scratching, with the help of Lawrence Lee, this howto did the trick. But why? I had never been to the Security Policy tool, I had never even heard of it. How did two of my machines both get this misconfigured? Mysteries.
