I have 2 xp pro serv.pack3 machines on a router.
both machines are password protected and dont use simple file sharing.
--> I would like a user to access the PC in the Network Neigborhood but only
by being promtped a username/passord.
--> i can only access files on the network if I add his name / password on
the local machine, matching the name password on the remote machine, is this
the only way?
Summary: I would like the remote user to be prompted usrname/passwrd instead
of having his name/password added to the local machine, now his name shows up
the welcome screen.
Is there a way the added name and password added can be made to not show on
the welcome screen?
 
In this case, you should not create the same username on both computers.
Assuming computer A username is called Auser and computer B has Buser. You
will use Auser name and password accessing computer from the computer B when
it prompts for the username and password. Or check this how to for more
details.

Protect a shared folder using passwordWhen accessing the shared folder from
another computer with different username, a screen will prompt for asking
the username and password. Related Topics ...

Yes, both PC A and PC B have different username/passords to access their own
pc's.
I can access the shared files only if the username/password is entered on
the PC A.
- What I would like is for the newly entered username/passord not be showed
on the WELCOME SCREEN at start-up. Is is possible to work around this?
Can the user name /password be entered on the main pc without having it show
up on the Welcome screen?
Thanks Robert.
