When the logon screen pops up makes the username

Machinename\administrator

Password

What ever the administrator password is on the xp machine

Machinename above is the name of the xp machine

Or from the cmd prompt

Again is the admin password is letmein on the new machine and the new

machine is called xphome

Net use * \\xphome\c$ letmein /user:xphome\administrator

Hope this helps.

Subject: [ProLinux] XP Hell again

HELP!!!

My main (Win2K) machine started the disk-click-of-death.

I quickly ran out and bought a brand new computer with a 3 year complete

hardware warantee. I will never build another computer again.

The BAD news, the new computer has XP Home on it!!! SHIT.

I'm trying to copy everything off of my old computer and make the new

one visible to the other 2 computers on the network. I can't figure out

how to make XP allow other computers (Especially Win2K computers) to

access it.

I've opened up EVERYTING. Turned off the firewall. Set the root of the

C: drive to share with everybody but when I try to connect from my other

computers (One Win2K the other WinXP Pro) I get the stupid log on window

on the XP Pro and no matter what I try, I can't get onto the new XP

machine.

Any ideas?

TIA

(my first and best idea is to BLAST away WinXP and install Win2k Pro)
