That's correct. XP blocks network access to accounts that have blank
passwords. This is new to XP (2000 did not do this) and you can disable it
if you really want.

If you want to disable the restriction against logging on to the network
without a password, you can do so through Local Security Policy. The policy
setting that controls blank password restriction can be modified using the
Local Security Policy (available under Administrative Tools) or Group Policy
MMC snap-ins (such as GPEDIT.MSC). You can use either tool to find this
policy option at Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options. The name
of the policy is Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to
console logon only. It is enabled by default.
