Workgroup User Problem

[president]

hello,
i ran into a strange problem today. i navigate to my network place
then to the workgroup section. my workgroups computers names are al
there. when i double click on one of them it asks for a user and
password for the remote system. the problem is that the user textbox i
grayed out and is set to login with the guest user only. i have to tur
on the guest user on the other system to be able to access it. is thi
a fact in windows or just my systems problem ? why is it behaving lik
this ? what can i do to login as a different user like th
administrator or something else ?
thanx, presiden

How to setup home or peer-to-peer network

If all of the computers in a peer-to-peer workgroup don't have a common
networking protocol, a common workgroup, and common user names and
passwords, the computers may experience a difficulty to communicate with
other computers that are running Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows 95, or
Microsoft Windows 98. To resolve this issue, configure the computers by
ensuring that they have a common networking protocol (TCP/IP), a common
workgroup, and common user names and passwords. Also make sure enable File
and Printer Sharing is installed.
