Problem accessing a network share from WinXP Home clients...

Hello, NG!

I've been having trouble connecting to network shares from a WinXP Home
client.
On the same Lan I have a server and two different WinXP Home clients: one
works fine,
the other does not.
When I try to connect to the share from the faulty WinXP, a dialog box pops
up
asking for Guest password to access the resource even if the
username/password
of the profile I'm using matches the username/password configured on the
server
to grant access to the resource. No guest account is allowed on the server.
I tried disabling the ForceGuest registry key from 1 to 0 but nothing
changed.
I also tried to change the security setting "how network logons using local
accounts are authenticated"
from "Guest only: Local users authenticate as Guest" to "Classic: Local
users authenticate as themselves"
but failed because WinXP _HOME_ does not have any of that.
I'm in a dire strait... can someone help?

Thanks in advance.
