How do you enable guess accounts on windows 2000 professional? Since windows 2000 professional is our acting file server do we have to enable guest account in our clients computer as well. The client pc are running windows xp pro with service pack 2.

Hi everyone, I am using my windows 2000 professional with service pack 4 as a dedicated server. I have a peer to peer network setup. I have two Windows XP Professional computers accessing Window 2000 Professional. Every time I click on the computer from my network places it is asking for a user name and password. Is there anyway to turn off that security feature. Even if I map the drive it still will not connect unless I type in the username and password. I hope there is a solution for this. I even tried add the user name and password to manage my network passwords under user names but it still won?t let me log in. Let know what I have to do to so I don?t have to have to type in the user name and password.
