Colin, thanks for responding to my request for help.

The password is not blank. I even try changing the password for the account
by logging into my XP machine as administrator and changing the password for
the account used to access from the Windows 2000 machine. I try accessing the
shared drive on my XP machine by clicking on it from my Windows 2000 machine.
I get the same error message.

I try pingging the XP machine from my Windows 2000 machine. It works - via
IP address and machine name. Clearly the netwok path is established. I
suspect it has something to do with security definition, but I have checked
the account, group and domain but still cannot identify where the problem
is...

Kiasu..
