I have two computers running Windows XP.
System 1 runs XP Pro and System 2 (an HP) runs XP Home, preloaded.
They are forming a LAN thru a Linksys router, by which they both access
the Internet.
Both systems belong to the same Workgroup, and both have the same user
accounts, with the same usernames and password (blank).
I can see the other system from each Network Neighborhood, but I can
only reach the shared files residing on System 2, from System 1.
When I try to reach the shared folders on SYstem 1, from System 2,
I am prompted for username and password, and no matter what I provide
I get rejected. I believe that if the username and passwords are the
same I should not even be prompted for them.
I have seen the advise given to Kysiow, and I followed it.
But it did not solve the problem.
Thank you
