Does UserA have a password for the login? If not, try setting a password.
WinXP doesn't allow a lot of networking between computers if one use doesn't
have a password.

Yes but administrator didn't.

I know that's not good but it's a test.

So If administrator has a pasword it will work?

Is this the same with windows 2000 pc or a mix?

Try assigning that account a password. XP is really picky about passwords.
