Hi everyone, I am using my windows 2000 professional with service pack 4
as a dedicated server. I have a peer to peer network setup. I have two
Windows XP Professional computers accessing Window 2000 Professional.
Every time I click on the computer from my network places it is asking
for a user name and password. Is there anyway to turn off that security
feature. Even if I map the drive it still will not connect unless I type
in the username and password. I hope there is a solution for this. I
even tried add the user name and password to manage my network passwords
under user names but it still won't let me log in. Let know what I have
to do to so I don't have to have to type in the user name and password.

create the same username and password on the all computers or enable guest account. check this case study for the details.

can't access after disabling guest
Resolution: To share two computers, they should create a same username and password
on both computers. Related Topics. Previous Page Next Page ...

How do you enable guess accounts on windows 2000 professional? Since
windows 2000 professional is our acting file server do we have to enable
guest account in our clients computer as well. The client pc are running
windows xp pro with service pack 2.
