wireless/wired communication problem

[partsman660]

I am running 2 computers on my network. My wireless is using xp pro-sp2 and is wireless through a Belkin 54G thumb drive the other computer is using xp-home and is wired to the residential gateway which is a 2wire 520 wireless AT&T DSL connection both units access the Internet no problem. I finally got both units to see each other on the network. The wireless unit will look inside the wired unit but when I try ta access the wireless unit from the wired unit I get a window asking for a user and password which I cannot seem to get passed.What have I not yet managed to do? When I do a ipconfig /all on my wireless unit I get this:

are both PC's in the same workgroup?

You can try a couple of things.

Configure the machines for Simple Sharing.

Create a user account on the machine that you are connecting to that matches the name/password that is used to login to the connecting machine.

Either of these should eliminate the password prompt.
