Connecting to a server

The PC runs on XPpro and joint to the local network using the same workgroup
name. The PC name is Moon and the server has a user Moon w/o password. So
that when the PC boots up should login into the server as Moon. I have other
PCs setup this way and all work.
Thank you.
Mike.

So you have a server but aren't using Active Directory? You don't have a
domain, just a peer-to-peer Workgroup?

The computer name should never be the same as the user name. This is bad
practice. Change the computer name to something else and make sure you
have a *user* account named "Moon" with a password and the identical
*user* account and password on your server.
