Since you are using XP there is no app or server to manage or centralize the password.
So when you change it in one place the other place knows nothing of the change. This is where the server versions of Windows (and LINUX) step in.
As this is for a class, I must stop here.

I am learning basics of networking, today my teacher told me how to connect 2 Pcs by using a Lan Cable.
Both PCs are using XP SP2, when I click on view workgroup computers, I see both Computers mine and the other one. Suppose my PC is M and other one is O, so to connect to O I was required to enter the user name and password of O.
I want to know if once I have connected to O, and then O changes his password, will I need to re-enter the new password or my pc M will automitcally know the new password?
And what happens if after changing the password one time, I again put the old password on O.
PLZ also tell if shutting down of computer will also cause some effect?
Thanks but I am very Confused, So if anyone of you is expert in networking, PLZ answer my question..
