I have two pc's running XP pro which are networked
together through a simple hub.
I am trying to log on to to the other pc as the admin but
the only option given to me is to log on a guest.
I can get round this by giving the guest account on this
pc admin rights but this causes security issues.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
Jon.
