What if "gary" on WinXP tries to connect to shares on the Win2K platform ?

It seems easier and more secure to just create equal accounts with equal passwords.

| You do not need to have the same user account on both computers, but you do
| have to enable guest connections on the XP Pro computer. To do this:
| start->run secpol.msc
| Local Policies-> User Rights Assignment
| Double click on both "deny access to this computer from the network" and
| "deny logon locally"
| Remove guest from both of these places and you should be fine.
