Win2000 & XP log in

[Mark Bottemiller]

I have 3 XP computers and one Win2000 in a home office network. Everything
works, but when accessing the Win2000 from two of the XP's, I have to log
in. Once logged in, everything is great until a computer is rebooted, then I
have to log into the Win2000 again. It's been this way for awhile and
finally getting tired of logging in.
How do I maintain a perminent log in?

You need to have an account on each of the XP boxes that matches the
username/password that you use to log into the W2K box. (And the
accounts on the XP boxes need both share and file permissions to access
resources)

I'll try that this weekend. That would explain why the one system does work.
It uses the same log in name. I had created additional accounts on the
WIN2000 matching each of the XP boxes, but we never log into the WIN2000
machine with those accounts, so the XP must not see them? Looks like I may
have done the reverse of what is required.
Thanks, I'll let you know if this fixes the problem!
