Default User account restriction error accessing a shared folder on my net

Hello

I'll explain my problem.

I have two computers both running WinXP. They both have a shared folder so
that I can easily transfer files between them.

Everything was going well until I installed SP2 on one of them. Now, the
computer running SP1 can't see the shared folder of the one running SP2.
When trying to access it says \\<sharename> is not accessible. You do not
have permissions yada yada yada and Login failure: User account restriction.

I have read that it might be because I dont have a password on my account on
the SP2 computer. This doesnt seem too logical and I dont want it to ask me
for a password every time I start it up.

Do you know how to fix this? It was working fine before. Should I just
reinstall XP and *not* upgrade to SP2?

Thanks
