Windows XP Workgroup Connectivity

[Guest]

I have a simple home network with 2 computers running windows xp using a
10/100 ethernet hub. I have no connectivity problems of any kind. Computers
see each other and are accessible. The only thing that bothers me is that
when opening the other computer's resource (not share) thru the network for
the first time a password prompt shows up before you can access the shares.
It's enough to enter the other computer's user credentials to get access but
gets annoying after a while. Is this a security option that can be disabled
because I remember from the old days when having the same situation with
windows 98 systems workgroup shares were accessible without any prompts. Was
more user friendly..

Windows 98 is passé! But you can return to it if you won´t use the
new advantages of Windows XP. It is for annoying you that all these
securities has been put into the program! Since a lot of people does not
like the way MS is propagandizing his supremacy and keep trying to
disturb the joy of others.

If you don't have anything interesting to tell, then stfu. I never said XP
was bad, in fact, I like it alot. But what the hell, I am not going to start
a discussion with some frustrated loser who can't satisfy his wife..
