Workgroup Logins

[Mitch]

After a lot of tweaking I've got my home network (XP+2000) using a
workgroup working regularly but one problem still remains. When trying
to access files or thge printer form another computer in the workgroup
it first requires that you log into that computer from Windows Explorer
as the administrator.

I've got identical user accounts on all the computers but the user
accounts don't require a password. Is this the problem or is there
something else I need to look at.

It's better to make the user account use a password ANYWAY, and make
the passwords the same for same-name accounts in order for
"auto-authentication"
across workgroup machines to work.
