Just an addendum to my earlier post in case I mistyped something:

To enable Guest on the XP Pro machine, *enable* Simple Sharing.
To disable Guest and use authentication by user accounts and passwords,
*disable* Simple Sharing (Pro only) and create the identical accounts
and passwords.

XP Home can only use Simple Sharing.
