Lan Password

Maybe someone in here could help me with this problem.
First off i'm using Windows XP Pro and i have just setup two computers via
the Lan ports so that i could setup my own network, I have them talking to
each other and sharing my broadband just fine so here are my problems.

1) I have setup my network and called it "Home Network" however when i click
on it, It takes a while for it to come up only to ask me to enter a
password. I have disabled the following... "Computer Configuration / Windows
Settings / Security Settings / Local Policies / Security Options
Double click on Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to
console login only" but it still asks for a password i have done this on
both pc's.

2) On one of my pc's i have installed a 10/100/1000 card so it is the same
as my other on board Lan connection on my other pc.
I can disable the lan connection on the on board pc but i can not do it on
the other it says "It is not possible to disable the connection at this
time. The connection may be using one or more protocals that do not support
plug and play, or it may have been initiated by another user or the system
account."
the card is uses the same drivers as my on board Lan which is "Realtec
rtl8189/8110 family gigabyte ethernet nic".

Thanks to anyone that can help, Tel.

In a workgroup situation all machines must have identical user accounts
created on them and have identical passwords. When you connect to another
machine in a workgroup, the machine you connect to doesn't care squat about
who you are on your machine, it only cares about the accounts on itself.
But if you have matching accounts on both machines then they are in
"agreement" and it works transparently.
