I actually didn't find this site (until after it was fixed,) but one similar, and was unimpressed that this CRITICAL setting has NO GUI to control it, you can uselessly flail about in the network settings on an XP or Vista machine for hours and not fix a damned thing... Shame on Microsoft for not making this important network setting discoverable easily. I have in the past seen people reinstall windows just because it would not connect to a network, now I finally know why... Personal note: although my flatmates use Windows, I use Ubuntu linux, which has it's own share of oddities, but nothing as inane as this thankfully.

This was a pain! I happened to use my work laptop at another companies office, logged onto a wireless connection there and returned back to the office. When i plugged into the network and tried to access files, i got the ole "you might not have permission to use this network"...blah blah blah. I could not access my office network files but did have internet access through the network. I think usimg the other wireless connection may have been the problem because i tried your fix and it worked. Many thanks. I will be passing this info on. Why would XP allow the change in the registry without alerting you or somehow logging that minute change? Oh well, thanks again! Bob Wow! This was a pain!

This XP issue and resolution is by far clearer described here than at support.microsoft.com That is good news since I just faced the issue :-) Thanks again. Richard,
