With Simple File Sharing disabled on any computer acting as a server, you should
login to any remote computer using an account / password setup on the server.
If the remote computer is running XP, you can "Connect using a different user
name" when setting up the share, but the user name has to be one setup on the
server.
If you enable Simple File Sharing, you need to enable the Guest account, using
Start - Run - "cmd" - then type "net user guest /active:yes" in the command
window, on each computer.
