Where is the shared folder and/or folders that you are
tring to connect to? Also check the XPP computer to make
sure the workgroup is named the same as the workgroup in
the XPH. The last thing I would check is that you have
the guest account enabled or you have set the setting in
the security to allow users to authenticate as themselves
instead of the guest account. I can explain that more if
that in fact is the problem.
