Is this how it works? Your setup seems to be very similar:

Hahaha Hans... How did you know? lol

Roger... I always believed that all computers had the same user name and
password, you bypass the user/password deal when networking. Although I
could be wrong.

You are wrong. In a peer-to-peer network ("Workgroup" in the Windows
world), authentication happens locally. Very simply, BillW on DEC asks
BEDROOM to use a shared resource. BEDROOM looks on its "allowed list"
and sees that the request is coming from a user who has an account on
its own system (BillW) and that the password matches its local BillW
account. So the request is granted. Of course, this all happens in very
little time. If BEDROOM doesn't find a BillW account with matching
password locally, it asks the requester to provide the name of a user
and password that is allowed to access BEDROOM's resources.

So - The easiest thing to do in such a small network is create identical
user accounts and passwords on all computers. You do not need to be
logged into the same user account; the one you are on just has to exist
on the target system. Then if you want the convenience of automatically
going to your Desktop and not having to enter a password (since these
are home machines), see:
