Problem sharing files

[anthony88guy]

I have 2 computers networked together, one using XP PRO, and the other XP HOME. I use to have 2 accounts on both computers, but I removed one account since I only wanted to have access to my computer. This is where I lost rights to access the other computer, although the other computer can access mine. I have an account on the computer. I heard that in order to share files you must have the same login and password. Now how would I be able to get around that? So I can view files on any computer on the network without them having a logon on my computer?

Thanks - Anthony

Make sure you're in the same workgroup.

Check the permisions on the folder that is shared, and make sure you give the "Everyone" group full access.

You need the same ID and Password on the remote computer that your are currently logged in with on your computer.

map drive, specify "login as" and put in valid credentials for the target computer.

THe security settings are under "Properties" but you have to turn simple filesharing off.
