OT: Networking Question

MailList,

  This  afternoon  I  added  a  new,  cleanly installed Win2K SP2
  computer  to  my  network.  I'm using a Linksys BEFSR41 router,
  and I have no additional S/W installed on the machine, just the
  OS  and  IE  5.0.   I  am  able to access the internet normally
  through  my browser, so I know that the NIC is working properly
  as is my TCP/IP.

  However, when I try to access shared folders on other computers
  in  the  network,  I  get  an  error  message saying "Incorrect
  Password  or  Unknown Username for \\Computer... with an "Enter
  Network Password" dialogue box.

  The new machine appears in the "computers near me" folder under
  Network  Neighborhood,  but I can't access the new machine from
  an existing one either--I get the same error message.

  IPCONFIG  shows  that  my DHCP addressing has properly assigned
  the  address  to the machine.  My Workgroup names match.  I can
  ping the other computers on the network as well.

  I've  tried  searching for help on www.practicallynetworked.com
  and links to other sites from there, and I'm coming up dry.

  I'd  really  be  grateful  for  any  suggestions  or  alternate
  information sources.
