Add Network Drive in a Workgroup

Hi. My Windows XP Professional SP2 has been removed from a domain. I
have set it to be a member of a Workgroup called just that. The other
systems in this Workgroup are Windows 2000 Professional SP4. On the Windows
XP machine I can easily make a Network drive to a drive on the W2K maching
through the Add a Network Drive Wizard say for the root //MYMACHINE/c$. But
on the Windows 2000 machine I get a prompt for a Network Password when I use
the Add Network Drive Wizard on it which I do not know.
If I set sharing on the Windows XP machine to share a drive then in
Computers Near Me on the W2K machine I see the drive I shared. But I would
prefer to use the Add Network Drive Wizard on the W2K machine to add a drive
from the Windows XP machine. But I am still getting the same Network
Password dialog box.
Is there a way to add a drive from a Windows XP machine to a Windows
2000 machine using the Add Network Drive Wizard in a Workgroup? Thanks
