Unable To Access Share By IP

Description:

Sometimes you will have an issue where a user is unable to connect to a NAS or a Linux box by IP Address. This is due to reg key that is needed called “Allow insecure guest logons”. Windows to Windows won’t really have this issue because there is always authentication.

To Resolve:

   Registry Hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
   Registry Path Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\LanmanWorkstation
   Value Name AllowInsecureGuestAuth
   Value Type REG_DWORD
   Enabled Value 1
   Disabled Value 0
