"Log On" required?

[99XJ]

My wife's new computer is visible in the "View Workgroup PC's" (but not My
Network) but when I click it I get a "Log-On" window. That PC is not
password protected, it just comes on when you start. It has no firewall, (XP
SP1) I tried leaving it blank, no luck. When I right-click>Properties a
"BONK" ..."You do not have access to this sever, contact network admin..." I
am the "Admin" how do I get past this?

It is better to assign a password. If you do want to auto logon, you can do
a different way.

I'm not interested in Log-on, (thanks anyway) I want to know why I get the
pop-up (I have never gotten a pop-up to log on to a network computer before)
and why I can't see the shared folders in My Network?

I figured out what it was... (tail between legs) I went to her "My Computer"
and noticed the Shared folder didn't have the share "hand" I right clicked
folder>properties>share... it says "By default windows has protected you
from Network sharing, if you would like to share, click here"...(Network
Wizard setup)
Thanks for your help anyway!!
