I have 4 computers on my home network...2 Windows 95, the
NT and XP machines. I can hook up fine to the Win95
machines, but although it recognizes the NT box, it tells
me I have to type in a password and user name...in my
system I do not use passwords...I can't share files or
printers...suggestion?
 
Tom,

Do the Windows 95 machines connect OK to the NT one? If
nothing can authenticate with it, make sure the Guest
account is enabled and has a blank password.

If it still needs a login after the above, you should be
able to use the username "Guest" (you may have to phrase
it as "computer\guest" with computer being the name of the
NT box), and a blank password.

(Alternately, you can make a one-time connection in XP to
the NT computer using the Administrator account, and click
on the check box that reads "Remember my password".)

Hope this helps,
J S
