I have a printer attached to a win2k machine which I'm
sharing over a lan with two other win2k macines, two 98
machines and an XP macine. It works great except for the
XP. Each time the XP machine is restarted, I have to
re-connect to the "guest" account on the win2k mahine. This
was a one time deal for all of the other machines where you
get a user/password dialogue box. First, I have to connect
to a shared folder on that machine which gets me the
dialogue box. If I don't, XP lists an access denied message
for the printer. There is no other warning.

So how do I set up the XP box to access this the printer
without without repeating this process everytime?

It's easy. On the 2k system just add a user with the same name
password (if any) as the XP system. XP will automatically grab th
printer since it has access.
