And how do you log in when the Windows machine is powered up? Click a
name? or does it log directly into Windows without a log in page?

and it logs in directly w/o login page (boy that sounds like a secure
server dont it? :P )

OK - so that means 'Simple File Sharing' (I'm not a Windows expert mind you)

Try 'Guest' and 'Guest' or 'Guest' and blank password.

Also, IIRC (I'm used to XP Pro) you should have a user name at the top
of the start menu still - even if it automatically logs you in. You
could try that username.
