I've run network setup Wizard again and enabled file sharing but still it
comes up with this stupid User window and password.
I'll create the password on his computer if I have to but how do i do
that? I went onto the site you suggeswted but there was no choice for this
problem any other ideas?
Did you read the part about XP Home/Pro issues? You never said what versions
of XP are running. Perhaps one or more of your computers are Media Center
(superset of XP Pro). The easiest and most trouble-free way to have
successful networking with such a small number of computers and users is to
create identical user accounts/passwords on all machines.
Naturally the networking troubleshooters would not cover creating user
accounts and passwords - it is assumed you already know how to do that. Go
to Control Panel>User Accounts and create passwords and additional user
accounts there. You do not ever have to log into the additional user
accounts (the ones made to match the other computers); they just need to be
on the systems.
