Problem
I am trying to connect from one Windows XP Pro system to another within a
workgroup using the \\ComputerName\d$ call in the address bar of Windows
Explorer.
Resolution
This means that anonymous logon is enabled and by default it take only
'Guest' user. You need to edit some settings on the machine you are
connecting to as follows:
1) Start -> Run -> secpol.msc
2) Goto Security settings -> Local Policies --> Security options
3) For the policy 'Network access:Sharing and security model for local
accounts' change the security setting to 'Classic'
