Hello all,
I have a Win Xp home laptop, and desktop. I have them hooked up to a router.
I have identical users accts. on the 2 pc's. When i try to access either pc
I get the windows xp login screen, but it has the guest acct. as the login
name, it is out of focus, so I can't change the user name to the acct I need
to login with. The guest accts. on both pc's are disabled.
Also does Win xp home support WPA-PSK under WiFi networking? I have a
wireless router that supports WEP, and the stronger WPA-PSK formats. I wnat
to use the stronger encryption, but I did not see any way to set that up.
Any help is greatly apprciated.

AFAIK you need to enable the Guest account in XP Home in order to connect in
a peer-to-peer environment
