Hi All-
I have 2 computers running XP Pro, and 2 running 2000 Pro. When I connect to
the 2000 machines from any other computer, I get a login/password dialog
box. Now when I connect to the XP machines I get right to the files. I would
like to have a login prompt on the XP machines as well. and if it is
possible, how can I configure the machines to use remote users' information?
(ie. their login and their password)?

Thanks.

Un-share the shared disks and folders on XP Pro, then disable "simple
file sharing" and re-share them.

I Did that in the first place. Simple Sharing = Off. I want it so it will be
*exactly* like the 2k login, with the local users login on a remote
computer.
