RE: Help - Vista asks for password trying to connect to other Vista PC

Click Start> Network> Network and Sharing:

Password Protected: OFF (unless you want to set up identical usernames and
passwords on ALL computers in your Network) If you have it ON, and no
identical usernames/passwords set up, you will be asked for a username and
password when you try to access a Vista computer from an XP computer, or a
Vista computer.
