do all the exact same user accounts with the exact same pw's exist on all machines in question?
they need to in a workgroup senerio.

the users dont have passwd :) and all are in the workgroup WORKGROUP
Have you installed File and printing sharing for Microsoft network on your compter?
ASKER
yep is installed
If some stations have sp1 and your computer not, this can be an explanaton.
ok does all the same user names exist on each workstation. They still need to exist even if the pw is blank
It's xp home, the users does'n't need to exists on every workstation. The access is done using the guest account.
Verify if the guest account is not disabled.

it could be switched to non-retard version if I recall. I hate the "im helping" version of file sharing... and that is scary if guest account has access.
Does that automatically add guest to the NTFS permissions? if so again, scary.

I agree. It's like a win9x with shared resources.

make sure you do your windows update (critical ones)
and keep your virus defs uptodate. I check updates 1+ times a day.
