network issue

Here's the message I'm getting:

"\\name-pc is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this
network resource. contact the administrator of this server to find out if you
have access permission.

Logon failure; the user has not been granted the request logon type at this
computer."

I'm running a laptop w\vista and a desktop w\vista

the network map on both machines, laptop and desktop, picks up the computers
on the home network which consist of 4 total, 2 vista, 1 98se and an xp.. the
2 vista's are the one giving me issues.. last night I could share from
desktop vista to laptop vista, but not the other way around, now this morning
the above mentioned message is appearing on both vista machines, what am I
missing here.. most options in network sharing are turned on, no printer or
media yet.. I am administrator on both laptop and desktop,, thanks for replies

Can they ping each other by IP? if yes, can they ping by name?

The message "the user has not been granted the request logon type" is a Local
Security Policy issue. With XP Pro, you can fix it in a few seconds using the
LSP Editor, with XP Home a bit more work may be required.
