Can't Log in to Network Computer

Got a little home LAN. Just put a new second hand computer onto it via wireless connection. It works alright. I just got on that machine and copied files from my machine here onto it from there.

BUT when I get on my machine and try to connect to IT, to transfer files or whatever, I get a screen asking me for a password and with the Username field greyed out.

I've been to that machine and created a new user with admin privileges (we're talking winXP here) thinking that'd help but I get no opportunity to change which user I am when trying to connect to it.

What's going on?

Actually I've just had an idea. Maybe I should be checking out file sharing and whatnot on that machine. I'll go do that while waiting replies from all you knowledgeable and capable computer gurus.

:)
