To Add. Maybe you are using the home group facility, which requires the same password on all computers sharing?

HomeGroups wouldn't or at least shouldn't be available to XP computers as a resource, but...
I do know that most Windows OSs after XP SP3 did not like blank passwords when networking (sharing) anything.
