After SP2 Shares ask for guest login

G

Guest

After finally managing to get SP2 installed on my desktop, the shares I had
setup (includeing print sharing) now pop a login dialogue box with the guest
account (greyed out) that requests a password for my other PC's to access it.
I have never had any accounts setup (or passwords) so I don't know what to
put in. Better yet, how do I get rid of it???

All of the shares show up on net view and ipconfig/ping shows proper network
config - all the computers see each other. My desktop can access the other
two PCs but they cannot access my desktop without logging in. Help.

assuming the guest account was enabled before SP2, now the Guest account is
disabled after installing the SP2. For sharing, you should create the same
username and password on the remote computers.
