Network PC log on

[Guest]

I have 4 computers running XP Pro on a network and all are able to see the others
When I select PC2 and PC3 from PC1 the directories are displayed but when I connect to PC4 the first time after bootup I get the Connect to PC4 dialog box with the user name and password to be entered
Why do I only get this on PC4. I need to protect PC2 so that anyone logging on to it will also have to enter a user name and password. How can I do thi
Thanks
