Help re windows peer to peer networking

euroman · 29 May 2005, 08:43 AM

I ask this question here as I know there are such nice people here...

I have a small peer to peer network of 5 computers. The network was once all on win 2000 but I then changed one PC to windows XP home.

Whenever I reboot the xp machine and then go into the network group i need to log in as administrator onto the win2k machines before I can get into the other networked PCs. Is there some way to avoid this relogging in? - it becomes a pain in the neck.

We're nice enough to redirect you when it's really best

dslreports.com and practicallynetworked.com are great resources, in case nobody here has the answer.

Thank you - you are a gentleman. I also solved my problem by adjusting guest accounts in the win2k machines.

Cheers
