Hi All,

I have 3 pc in my home network with linksys router(wired) with sygate
personal firewall. All rules set to allow the mac address. Lets call
comp1,comp2,comp3.
Comp1 and comp2 talks to each other fine but when from comp3 I try to
connect to either 1 or 2 I get login id prompt as like other 2 computer but
the only problem is it comes as guest user(with disable)I cannot change the
userid to enter my login.
Any idea?

Thanks

Andy,

What OS edition are Computers 1, 2, and 3 running? XP Home, or Pro? And if XP
Pro, with Simple or Classic File Sharing? And is Guest enabled or disabled?

Thanks Chuck. OS are XP pro on 2 computers and Media center on 1.
But I checked off simple print and file sharing and its working now.

Thanks Again
