I have four computers running XP pro, XP pro, XP home, and Win98 SE. they all connect together with a router, there is no domain. Each computer has share folders. I only setup all computer with the same group name like "workgroup". I did not run the network setup wizard for each computer. I can see all computer names under myNetworkPlace\workgroup\. But when I click on the share folder on XP home, a logon screen popup ask for the username and password. The username is already entered with "Computer Name\Guest" and grey out, and I have no idea what password for guest account. Since all guest accounts on each computer are disable. I have also have the same problem to access share folder on Win98 SE from XP pro. Why win xp always require login with guest account. Can we fix it without running the network setup wizard and make the sharing working? Thanks a lot.

I experienced this the other day... try clicking the close button 'x' on the top right had corner of the screen & see what happens.. I did that and I was able to access the folder.
