I have networked all of the computers at home. I have 2 XP Pro, 1 Win2000, and 1 WinME, 1 XPHome.
When I try to connect to the other computer from my WinXP Pro, it found the other computer, but it will ask for a password to get access to the computer. I did click to share Folder and printer.
How do I setup permission to allow all computers to talk to each other and share resource.
 
Have you defined the user account you are connecting with on the target machine? It helps to have the same account (including password) on both workstations. You can then connect without having to go through the login process.
 
I have not setup anything. The only thing that these system can do is to connect to the Internet using the Signle DSL service with a Rounter. Can you tell me how to setup the account.
 
The easiest way is probably to go to start, settings, controlpanel, user accounts. (that is for XP but there should be something similar on each machine)
Go to whatever account you are using on your computer and give it a password.
Then go to each other computer and make an account on it with the exact same username and password.
