Win2k3 file sharing

Hey,
I have got my network working (all except internet connection sharing, but that doesn't matter). However, when I share my PUBLIC drive (g:), and try to access it from another computer (xp), it asks for the password. How can I make it so that people don't need a password to access my computer's (IPC$) files and stuff?

Resource: \\computername\IPC$ - An extended error has occurred Symptoms: When you attempt to connect to w2k/xp computer over the network, you may receive one of the following error messages: "You must supply a password to make this connection: Resource: \\computername\IPC$" -or- "computername An extended error has occurred" Resolutions: 1. make sure netlogon service is running. 2. Make sure you have created logon ID and password for remote computer logon. 3. Or enable guest account.
