This is a weird one. Essentially I have a standard Workgroup at home, several PC's, and on each machine, the Administrator account unlocked in lusrmgr.msc. Password set the same for each PC so I can do push installs for Backup Exec and AVG etc.
One machine however, I just can't login to. I can't even access shares using either the administrator account or the actual users account who shared the files (And I am putting the correct Computer_Name\Username!).
It just errors like you are using the wrong credentials. Any ideas? I have tried creating other user accounts, standard user and administrator accounts, if I turn off password protected sharing it's fine for user shares, but I still can't push install using the credentials.

NET USE? – Canadian Luke – 2012-06-30T19:05:52.447All Windows 7, all on Windows Firewall. Sorry what do you mean connect via NET USE/ – PnP – 2012-06-30T19:23:24.740
1I have just looked into Syntax of NET USE and tried accessing a share and mapping it to a drive - received error 5, access denied. – PnP – 2012-06-30T19:31:38.910
1Are they all in the same workgroup? Right-click on Computer, click
Properties. Click onAdvanced System Settings->Computer Name. Can the computer you can't connect to connect with another machine? – Canadian Luke – 2012-06-30T19:55:44.433All in same Workgroup, WORKGROUP, and no, no other machines can seem to authenticate to this one PC – PnP – 2012-06-30T19:58:32.183
What I mean is, with Machine B not connectible, can Machine B connect to Machine A's shares? – Canadian Luke – 2012-06-30T20:00:19.560
1Ah, Sorry I misunderstood. Yes, it can – PnP – 2012-06-30T20:15:59.087
