Sounds like your issue might be caused by this

Permitting Network Access Without a Password
To allow users to log onto their computers without a password and then access the XP Professional machine without a password, you must make a security policy change:
1. Go to Control Panel | Performance and Maintenance | Administrative Tools | Local Security Policy.
2. Expand Local Policies | Security Options.
3. Double-click Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console login only, which is enabled by default. Disable this option and click OK.
This will permit network access without a password. The user's computer can boot directly to the Windows desktop, and be validated against the corresponding XP Professional user account, without a password.
Note that the term “blank passwords” isn't technically accurate. There's a difference between having a password which consists of one or more blank characters, and having no password at all. This setting actually permits access by users who have no password at all.

Of course it could be something silly like not haveing any drives or something setup as being shared.
edit: tkkfan this could also be an issue with you trying to share out your printer.
