This is the situation:

Two pcs with Windows XP SP2. Windows firewall disabled in both. Same
account
(administrator rights) name and password in both. No spyware or another
firewall enabled. Same work group in both

When I try \\192.168.0.3\c$ from 192.168.0.2 a popup asking for password
appears but I can't change the user. It only appears Guest and disabled.

But when I try \\192.168.0.2\c$ from 192.168.0.3 a popup asking for
password
appears and the user textbox is enabled.

What do i have to change to have user textbox enabled instead of guest
account?

Thanks
