how to create user account seen on both computers (XP home)

[Mac]

I'd like know if it's possible to create user account in XP home that
would be seen from local computer and from computer connected via net
adapter (both are home XP's). Is this doable in these systems?. Then I
want to assign share to
such account and so I could use such share safely on the intranet.

The only way to do this is the create your account on
both system with the same password and assign your
security this way.

By the defaut, the concept is everyone can access to
every share on the LAN.

Or you install and Win200x server as a domain
controller

Hope this help

I would call it a sick idea. No security over the intranet
deliberately implemented by Microsoft is just something I don't
understand (XP Home). What did they think they were doing?. The
problem is that shrpubw can assign share to account with certain name
but on certain computer as well. There is such term as 'localization'
and it's set stiffly as a local computer. Can't change it. Any ides
how I can do it?.
