This past month, I added a new PC (D) Dell 4600 pc (3ghz, WinXp Home)
to my "simple file sharing" peer-peer network with same workgroup name
connected via Linksys BEFW11S4 router/5 port switch.
.... pre-existing network PC's all can autoconnect to each others
mapped drives.
(A) - PC Win 98SE
(B) - PC Win Xp Home
(C) - Laptop WinXp Home
All PC's/Laptop [ A - D ] can connect to each other and shares are
accessible. Original 2 PC's [A & B ] and laptop [ C ] can auto connect
to mapped drives without entering passwords. New PC [D] autoconnects
to all PC's except PC .
Prob: The new PC [D] does not seem to be properly authenticated with
WinXP PC as whenever I attempt to connect to share on [ B ] or
"click" computer name in "workgroup computer list", I must enter
"Guest account" password. Though no password requested when
connecting to PC's [ A or C ].
Can anyone help me auto connect to this Win Xp PC without entering
the guest account password.
Does the latest Dell OEM WinXp vers. (Mar, 04) have any relevance to
this problem? I have updated both PC's to latest Windoz critical
updates.
