W.,
Please clarify "I sigon to the machine when I boot up. It rejects the
ID/password.". What machine are you signing on to? What error message do you
get (please be precise)?
Read about file sharing, between all different versions of Windows:

On solarblast, check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control Panel - Folder
Options - View - Advanced settings) is enabled or disabled. With XP Pro, you
need to have SFS properly set on each computer. If you want to run "net time
\\solarblast", you have to have administrative authority from astropc, which
means disabling Simple File Sharing on solarblast.
On solarblast with SFS disabled, check the Local Security Policies (Control
Panel - Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies - Security Options, look at
"Network access: Sharing and security model", and ensure it's set to "Classic -
local users authenticate as themselves".
On solarblast with SFS disabled, setup and use a common non-Guest account on
both computers, with an identical, non-blank password.
On XP Pro, if you're going to use Guest authentication, check your Local
Security Policy (Control Panel - Administrative Tools) - User Rights Assignment,
on the XP Pro computer, and look at "Deny access to this computer from the
network". Make sure Guest is not in the list. Look at "Access this computer
from the network", and make sure that Everyone is in this list.
Do any of the computers have a software firewall (ICF / WF, or third party)? If
so, you need to configure them for file sharing. Firewall configurations are a
very common cause of (network) browser, and file sharing, problems.
