Connect to other computers on my network
I'm working on settin up a litle network at my house, nothing big, just a little peer to peer workgroup setup. 4 machines running XP, one machine running 2000. When I try to access some computers from another computer, I either get the innaccessible computer, log on as user dialog, or another log on as user dialog. Sometimes it comes up and I can enter the username and password, but others it comes up and the username is grayed out and set as guest. Anyone know why? It's weird, because all my Guest accounts are disabled. I have Administrator on all of the machines, and the same username on all machines as well. Isnt there a checkbox somewhere that I have to check that says "Allow other computers to connect to this computer" or seomthing like that?
If you cannot decipher what I am asking, just say so and I will try and break it down.
Thanks!
