XP expects you to enter a user name which exists on the remote computer and the password for that user on the remote computer.

XP does not generate either user names or their passwords.

See my most recent reply to you. What you've written above makes no sense. Peer-to-peer networks require local authentication. This is not OS-dependent. Of course XP doesn't generate user names or passwords! No operating system does that all by itself!
