BTW, this requirement to have the same user name and password on both
machines in a workgroup network applies across most Windows networking
features. Sharing folders, music, and so on, all require the same user
and password pairs.
There's one exception. In the most basic home network all users are
considered by the other Windows PCs to be user "guest", with no
password, but that level of security is insufficient for business
applications like BCM.
