On each WinXP PC, create local user account(s), with non-blank
password(s), that have the desired access privileges to the desired
shares. To rephrase, identical (as in username/password) accounts must
exist on each machine. 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. Also, make sure that WinXP's built-in
firewall is either disabled on the internal LAN connection, or set to
allow exceptions for File and Print Sharing.
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:
