We have two PC network, Win XP Pro for both PCs, with
file and print sharing set up on both, on workgroup on
both machines called Workgroup. Anne's PC was upgraded
to XP from Win Me recently, and the problem began.

When we attempt to access Anne's PC from Bill, we receive
a logon window with the title "connect to
AnnesComputer." with a picture of keys under the title
bar. WE attempt to enter Anne's user names and
passwords, and the connect window keeps reappearing.

We are able to connect without such a connection logon
window in the opposite direction (from Anne to Bill).s.

Does anyone have an idea how we can turn off the
logon/lockout feature so that we can access the shares we
used to?

Thanks very much in advance.
 
You should read up on NT (and NT based systems) security. You need to
create local accounts on the XP machine and configure Permissions on the
shared folders and files.
