How's the sharing security set up from the XP machine? The fact it's asking
you for username and password indicates it's not running in local mode.
Is there a domain server?

No domain server.. how do you set "local mode" on the XP
puter?

Im not an expert. It's just strange to me that you're getting the
user/password prompt on yours when we dont get it on our network setup that
only has 1 workgroup defined and both machines just have a single user
Id be following leads on that if it were my machine.
Hopefully a more expert person may be able to help.
