Roger,

With non-dimain ("workgroup") authentication, the best you can do is have an
identical account on both the client and the server, with identical (or blank)
password on both. You'll have to setup Shawna on both computers, disable local
access on the desktop using Control Panel - User Accounts, then enable Shawna
for network access using "net user".
