Hey I have a small network between 2 xp systems mine and my fathers and I can access his shared folder but when he tries to get into mine it asks for a password. Thing is I never set up a password! We are going through cable modem through a dlink router. I have looked at everything I could think of but nothing btw he is on xp home I have xp pro. Any advice or help would be appreciated thanks.
