    Hi,
    if I understood you OK, both computers (Win2000 and the new laptop) aren't a
    part of the domain ?
    If so, create users on both computers that have identical passwords;
    If you log on to Win2k with User1 and you log on to Xp laptop with User2,
    create User2 on his Win2k and create User1 on his Xp laptop.

    NOTE:____________________________________________
    if you have blank passwords, take a look at the following article:
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/ServerHelp/45acdbfd-7d8e-4b70-b332-97f9e2d975e1.mspx
            or

    Disable simple file sharing on WinXp
    (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=307874)
    and set the permissions and security (Explained in the article mentioned
    above )

    If I misunderstood you or I wasn't clear please feel free to contact me.
