Greetings --

On the WinXP PCs, create local user account(s), with non-blank
password(s), that have the desired access privileges to the desired
shares. Log on to the other PCs using those account(s), and you will
be able to access the designated shares, provided your network is
configured properly.

Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:

Bruce thanks for your reply- I did all of that but still

only user on each computer. It wont even let me in group
MSHOME which is what all computers on my network belong
to. Not sure whast to do to correct whatever winxp set as
lock through admin. Thanks TIM

I had this same problem and it turned out to be XP's firewall. Try disabling it.

Also make sure that both machines have identical user accounts, with
identical non-blank passwords running on the same workgroup. Outside
of a client/server system, where the Domain Controller validates user
credentialing and access rights, this is the only way XP will allow
access across the network.
