XP vs 2000 Network

I can't see the WinXP box from my 2000 box. I'm trying to
log in with the same Username/PW that gets me into the XP
system at login but the 2000 box reports "invalid user or
no permission".

From the XP box I can log in just fine and see the 2000
box. I tried creating a new user on the XP box with admin
rights and logging into the XP box from the 2000 box that
way. No dice. Anyone have a cluse as to why I can't see
the XP box?

That wasn't the problem but it DID help me get to where I
needed. It turns out that as I was sharing the drives on
the WinXp system, I failed to check one of the boxes
necessary.... I'm embarrassed... Thanks for your help.
