But in a peer-to-peer/workgroup, you generally have better networking results when &quot;ward&quot; is the same user account on every system you need access to (with the same password)...

Thanks! If I don't logon with a password do I just leave the password blank?

I was wondering what user name I should use when adding a user in a peer to peer environment. Do I use the computer name that I see in &quot;my network places&quot; or do I use the name that the person logs on as. ie the computer name is WKS4 but my logon name is ward.<br />

Thanks!<br />

Adding User names in WIN 2000

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
