Why is login required to new PC on network?

I have a network of 4 x XP Pro PC's and have recently replaced an WindowsME
PC with an XP Home PC.
Whenever I try to browse the new PC from an XP Pro PC I get a login prompt,
whereas if I try to browse an XP Pro PC from the new one it works fine!

Can anyone tell me why I get a login prompt and how I can get around it? I
haven't any account on the new PC that I have set-up so I don't know any
password!

Thanks
Nigel
