Workgroup and connecting to network resources

I just set up a server in a workgroup. I have 4 windows XP computers
connecting to it. When 3 of the 4 computers connect to a network drive they
get an Administrator prompt to login and enter the administrator password.
After the password is in they can navigate freely through the network
resources.

Like the one computer that doesnt get prompted for an admin login, I would
like to figure out how all the computers in the workgroup can connect to
network resources without getting prompted.

I don't have active directory setup or a DNS controller.

Thanks,
Charlie

You have to configure the EXACT SAME userID and Password of each user on the
"server".

Do I configure the user ID and Passwords in the MMC?

Thanks for your help.

You never described what OS your "server" was running. However, assuming it
is not a domain controller, I would just use "My Computer" properties and
choose "Manage". Then click on users and add them.
