I have windows XP pro with a peer to peer network to the
secretary with windows 98 and my brother with windows xp.
When she tries to access me on her computer thru the
network, a dialogue requests that she enter a password
to make the connection. Same thing with my brother.

This has not happened before. How do I eliminate the
requirement for the passwords on my computer.
 
Greetings --

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.

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:
