Hi there,
I have installed a home network (2 win-Home, and 1 WinXP). Everything works,
that is I can access all (shared doc's) on all pc's from all pc's, but when I
want to access my WinXP computer I get promted with an logon-screen, which
askes for a username and password.
How can I disable that prompt?
It 's quit annoying, because the printer I want to share is on the winXP
computer and before I can print I have to explicitly make a connection to the
printer...

I'm guessing that what you have is 2 Windows XP Home, and 1 Windows XP Pro? If
so, just enable the Guest account, on the XP Pro computer, and activate it for
network access.
