In Windows XP Home where do I modify account security paramiters?

[Guest]

I want to access a PC with XP home from a PC with Win2000. I can do the other
way around no issue. But when I connect to the WinXP PC (from Win 2000 PC)
and I enter the account name, with admin authority, and password it replies
back, after a while, that either psw or ID are not correct (Which they are
for local access anyway) Both PC's are connected directly via Ethernet
crossed cable and they both have the shortcut created on the desktop to
connect one to another. They communicate, I can connect from XP to Win 2000,
but not the other way (I can ping though so there is a sort of connection).
It worked with both PC at Win2000. Tkanks for your support

On the WinXP PC, create local user account(s), with password(s),
that have the desired access privileges to the desired shares. Log on
to the other PCs using those account(s), and you will be able to
access the designated shares, provided your network is configured
properly. Also, make sure that WinXP's built-in firewall
is disabled on the internal LAN connection.

On the Win2K PC, create local user account(s), with password(s),
that have the desired access privileges to the desired shares. Log on
to the other PCs using those account(s), and you will be able to
access the designated shares, provided your network is configured
properly.

Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:
