Hi, I just built a second PC and networked it to my main one pretty easily. However, whenever I turn on the second PC and try to access it from the first PC, it asks me to login and I wanted to ask if there is a way to cancel the password request. The second PC is running W2K Pro. Thanks.

You should be able to create a local user account on the 2nd PC for the 1st PC user.
