accessing resources on another XP machine

Hi,

I have two laptops with XP installed. They are on a Local Area Network. I
want to access a shared resource on one xp machine from the other one. But
when I try to access the computer it always tries to connect with guest user
account. What I want is to connect with other user accounts. I even created
the same user account and password on both the machines but still when I try
to connect it tries to access with guest account and doesn't let me enter
the user name. Please help!!!!! I can connect to other win 2000 machines
successfully and vice versa.

You could just map a drive to it.

Bring up Start-Run.
Type \\TheOtherClient and hit enter
Right click on the share you want and choose Map network drive
In that dialog, there is an option Connect using a different user name
