Yea i networked two computers, one win 2kpro and the other winxp pro. I can access the win xp from the win2kpro but when i try accessing the win2k comp from the win xp comp it asks for a password. How can i disable this?

Trying to remember: I think it has to do with local user accounts: make a user account on the win2K machine that matches username/password on the other one.

I think that should do it. Reply so I know if my brain is still working!

create an account on the win2k machine that is the same as the account you log on to winxp machine with. if you do not use a password on the winxp leave the password blank on the account on the win2k machine.

easiest would be to enable the guest account, but remember to add a password. If you don't, you could leave it open for somebody to get in.
