Add Network Drive in a Workgroup

[Guest George Hester]

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
