XP Sharing problem

[Tanner]

Hey,

when I clik on one of the XP HOME computers on my network from my XP HOME machine I get this error

What's up w/ that?

How come this one won't share...and all the other XP Home machines play nicely w/ one another and share?

help! TIA

Do you have an account on the machine you're connecting to with the same name/password as this machine uses?

This is not an Error, it is a good thing!

This is a security request.

Of course you can!

At least I can with XP-Home here. I don't use simple sharing, perhaps that's where the confusion lies.

I HATE WINDOWS XP'S NETWORK SETUP WIZARD!!! AHH!!!

Sorry just had to get that out.

Just make sure that you log onto each computer with the same username and password or put it in your saved username and passwords list (WinXP does this automatically if it's on a private network).
