How to browse any directory on other machines on my network? (Resolved)

[KeyserSoze]

Two machines, both on my network, I'm administrators on both of them. (Both Windows XP)

I just want to be able to browse the directories on either machine back and forth. But when I try to force a directory (That's not shared), it asks for Authentication. But the username is greyed out, only saying "Server\Guest", and asking for a password. (Obviously, Server is the name of one of the machines.)

At work, through all of our dev. machines, I can just directory browse through Explorer, and I want that same setup at home. I'm not sure what security policy/setting I have to play with to get this dang thing to work.

Any helps/tips/links in the general direction would be appreciated.

I have the same account name on both machines (They are Administrator), and both are WinXP (SP2).

TIA

THANK YOU!

Just disabled "Simple File Sharing", and that's all I needed. Now, I can browse all my folders via Explorer.

Thanks again!
