    hi all

    i am using a win xp pro sp2 machine and connecting to my router wirelessly.

    i have an older laptop in the living room downloading some things using win 2000 connected by cable to the router.

    i had another laptop which i gave away which was running xp in the place of the win2k one.

    i could connect to the one with xp using my network places no problem

    going in my network places in my current laptop, i can see the win2k machine. when i click on it, it asks me for login username and password to connect to it.

    now, my win2k machine doesnt have a login/password.it connects straight thru. it has a name, say apt4, but no passwd.

    is there any thing i should do to be able to connect to it and pull some files?


    Thanks!

    Set up an account on the 2k machine with a password, or if you don't want to do that - login remotely using the administrator account/password... IIRC you should have set a password for this during the install.
    Other than that, I'd say there are a few things you could do in the local policy editor to allow any tom dick or harry to read from the shared folders.
