Networking WinXP and Win2000

#1 (**permalink**) 01-04-2007, 04:37 AM

Hi, I recently networked my five home computers. They are all connected
to a DSL Modem/Router provided by my ISP. My question is this: when I
browse files on my Win2000 PC using an XP PC, it requires me to enter a
password, but when I browse files on any XP PC using any other PC, I am
not required to enter a password. Is there any way I can keep the
Win2000 PC from requiring my family to enter a password when someone
wants to browse the files stored on it?

Create identical user accounts and passwords on the Win2k box that match
the ones on the Windows machines. Then when the request for a resource
comes in, the Win2k box will recognize that the request is coming from
an authenticated user and will not ask for a password.

control panel or if set up in the bios of the W200 computer

This post makes absolutely no sense at all. You should continue to lurk
