security questiom

Hello all -
I ran this fix today on my xp box to reset the secuity settings.
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;313222

This box is fine, but I can no longer access it from a 2nd (Win2k) PC over
the network. The client in the second PC asks for user ID/Password,
I provide it with the my logon credentials on the XP box and it fails.

Shouldn't this work? Is there something I have to do on the 1st box ?

TIA for any info

Dave and Rosanna

Oops... That's what happens when you post too late at night.
I resent it to the correct group.
Thanks

On each WinXP PC, create local user account(s), with non-blank
password(s), that have the desired access privileges to the desired
shares. Log on to the other PCs using those account(s), and you will be
able to access the designated shares, provided your network is
configured properly. Also, make sure that WinXP's built-in firewall is
disabled on the internal LAN connection.

Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:
