Luiz,

The choice of authentication (Guest vs non-Guest, password etc) will vary
according to what version / edition of Windows is on each computer; if Windows
XP Pro, are you running Simple File Sharing, how much do you trust everybody on
the network, etc.

Please read my articles, which should enlighten you.
