Networking a network drive - asking for password when there isn't one...

[junglist_but_not_any_more]

Hiya

In our office we run mainly mac's with just a couple of PC's. Just got a new PC in and i'm trying to network up an external hard drive that is connected to one of the mac's.

When you connect to the drive from another mac, there is no password set so you just login as Guest.

When trying to map the drive in XP, it sets the username to ...\Guest and then prompts for a password. When you try and proceed it just keeps prompting for a password even though there isn't one set...

Is there anyway to bypass this?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

This should probably be in the mac software forum.
