Win XP Pro networking question within a workgroup

[Nocturnal]

I'm attempting to setup four WinXP Pro boxes in a workgroup network. From my box I can connect to two shares on two different computers, the third, it asks me for a login/password. I can type in the computer name\user name and then the password and it works. But I don't have to do this for the other two computers. All four computers are using NTFS for our file systems.

I don't see any differences as far as permissions go. They're all the same. Any idea why this specific account is asking for a user name and password?

***FIXED***

Just thought I'd update you and everyone else who may stumble upon this some time in the future. What happend was the computer I was trying to connect to, in the local security policy, it was set to not allow connections from Guest. I just removed the Guest account from that specific rule and it works now, it doesn't prompt me with a user name or password.

Is the username you're using the same on all four computers? How about the password? Anything in event viewer?

The thing is all the user names are different. My computer has only my user name and it is unique. The other computer that I can connect to does not have my user name at all. It may have the "administrator" account but I believe it is non-passworded.

Also SFF is turned off on all computers. All computers are using NTFS drives. I thought it was because I had my Guest account enabled but I disabled the Guest account through MMC and it still occurs. It always prompts me to enter a user name and password. It's so weird, I can connect to all the other computers and they don't have my user name on there.

What I noticed is that if I enable the Guest account on his unit, it won't let me connect at all. However if I disable it, it prompts me for a u/p.
