Network problem

I have a local network set up at home I have now setup vista RC1 on a second
Pc
everything works well and both pc's can be seen on the network
However when trying to browse the contents on the other pc's it asks for a
password how can I disable this so that the pc's can be freely accessed from
eachother ?
neither of the pc's have a logon password and I don't want to assign a logon
password for then
I just want to freely have network access from one to the other

Re: Network problem

Is the Vista in the same workgroup as the other PC's? Also, make sure the
following are turned on under Network and Sharing Center:
Network discovery
File sharing
Public folder sharing
Password protected sharing
