Access Denied one one PC but not the other

[John]

I have two XP-Pro PCs on a Workgroup. My kids have limited accounts on both
with the same User Names on both. They don't have passwords. I set the Share
Permissions on the D drive on both PCs to Everyone/Full Control. For
Security I set Everyone and Users to Read.

The problem: They can access the D drive from PC 1 to PC 2, but when going
from PC 2 to PC 1 they get access denied. Best I can tell the Share/Security
settings are identical on both PCs. I can resolve this with a password, but
my kids are too young to type passwords (pretty good with the mouse though).
Any other ideas?

Thanks,
John

Thanks. I changed the account setting on the one PC and it worked.

Just curious, any ideas why the other PC had no trouble with accepting a
blank password? The account setting for limiting blank passwords to console
logon on that PC is still enabled.

Thanks again,
John
