I have a small network of 3 computers each with a different os. I am running XP Pro, XP home, and 2000 pro.
The xp pro and 2000 pro have no problem communicating with each other or the XP home. But when i try to connect from the XP home machine to the others it asks me for a user name and password. I have not set up any login for any of the cpu's. I have also set up rules on my firewalls and disabled firewalls completely.

did you run the network setup wizard on the xp home computer? is it actually joined to the network?

I have run network setup wizard and am definitely connected to the network. There Are two other xp home machines on the network and my xp home connects to them without a problem.

ok...so xp home connects to xp home with no password request...xp pro connects to xp home no password....xp home to xp pro...asks for a password right?
is the guest account enabled on the xp pro (and 2000) machines?

[rick4two0]

you are correct. And the guest accounts are turned off.
