Why am i asked for password prompt when connecting to a workgroup computer?

[kimiraikkonen]

I have Win2k pro Sp4 and i have 2 computers on the same WORKGROUP net.

But although i'm administrator and i use automatic logon feature to
logon into Windows 2000, if a workgroup computer wants to connect my
Win2k based system, the client computer has to enter ''Administrator''
as username.

I do not want computers to be prompted to connect my Win2k system in
the same workgroup. How can i configure it?

In screenshot, you will see if a WinXP home based system wants to
connect my Win2k based system, WinXP based client has to enter
''Administrator'' and nothing to enter as password. These are my local
Win2k Administrator account config using logging on my Win2k without
any network.

Also there is no an option like ''remember this username and
settings'' WHY???

Make sure that the passwords for the "Administrator" account
are synchronised on all machines. If they are different then you
will be treated as a stranger who must be challenged for the
correct password.

Could you detail the steps for removing the password prompt?

Is there a configuration i have to do in My Computer-Properties-
Network ID?

The answer is the same as before: Make sure your passwords
are the same on all machines. When they are then you won't
get a password prompt.

on your win2K system

You enter as "administrator" and you have a blank password?

On your XP you also have an account "administrator" with a
blank password but you are logging on with another account?
hence the prompt to provide an authourised account for win2K
