Home networking.....

[Watson18]

Hello, i have a slight problem with a home network, can
anyone help?

Scenario:-
I have a home network which consists of two pc's and a
router/switch. I want to have administrative rights to
the other machine on the network to remotely administer
it (Virus Updates etc). When i try to connect to the
machine, i get a password box up with the username Guest.
The problem being that i dont know what the password is.
I have also tried adding myself as an administrator on
the machine but i still cant get access.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Watson18,
If you don't have XP pro on the PC that you want to control you can use the following program, RealVNC.
