Accessing another PC on ZoneAlarm

Two XP machines on same network, one has ZoneAlarm installed. I want the other XP machine to be able to browse the first one's files/folders.

At first, when I try accessing the protected PC via explorer, I would get no response (no prompt to enter username/password to login)

I tried adding an ip range covering all computers on my network as a 'trusted site' on ZoneAlarm settings, and then I am able to get a prompt now but it automatically defaults username to the Guest account, and the input field is greyed out (I cannot specify what username to use, and Guest is a disabled account)

So what do I need to do now to get this to work?

I'd hate to have to shut down ZoneAlarm anytime I want to connect... is there a way to disable ZoneAlarm's inbound protection completely? I only need it for outbound traffic anyway...
 
Ok, looks like it's not ZoneAlarm causing the login to default to a Guest account- it's XP.

Now, is there a way to configure this so I can use any account name or am I forced to activate the Guest account?
