Zeusnet...possible security breach?

From zeus2 (the computer that does not access the network)

I went to tools/find/computer and typed in zeus1 and it found it. I typed in Zeus2 and it found it too. If I right click on zeus2 /property/tools/netwatcher (to see a list of shared files) I get access denied to server message.

From zeus 1 (the compaq computer with access to the network)

I do the same process. In addition to the name of the computer and the workgroup (which I also see from zeus2) I also see the user name and a domain name (zeusnet, same as workgroup) when I right click on zeus1 properties/tools/netwatcher I do not get the access denied. I get a program screen with many options.

It seems like zeus2 is denying me access to the network. Windows Internet explorer 3.x has been upgraded to a 128 bit secure browser for higher level security on zeus2. Is it possible that there is a security issue here?

Regards

Zeuspaul

Success!! Zeusnet is working..

In a personal message John Johnston suggested that I shut zeus2 down and select the log-on as different user. I was prompted for a user name and I made up a new name. The computer asked for a password and I chose not to use a password by leaving the item blank.

Both zeus1 and zeus2 were using the same log-on name, causing a conflict.

Thanks to everyone who helped

PS John, I still don't have the two faces icon (the two faces icon is used to inspect the user profiles in Win95)
