Is the specific computer running Simple File Sharing (either XP Home, or XP Pro
with SFS enabled)? If so, you're out of luck - SFS uses Guest access only. If
the specific computer is running XP Pro with Classic File Sharing, setup and use
an administrative account, with identical, non-blank password on both computers.
