Where did you disable the Guest account? The Guest accounts settings
in Control Panel | User Accounts have nothing to do with network
access. They control whether someone can log in as Guest at the local
keyboard.
To enable the Guest account for network access, type this line at a
command prompt:
net user guest /active:yes
To disable it:
net user guest /active:no
To create or remove a network password for the Guest account, type
this command:
control userpasswords2
An incorrectly configured firewall would block access completely. It
wouldn't cause a password prompt.
