Microsoft giveth and Microsoft taketh away

Suddenly so many problems I've had with my home network are explained: XP accounts with blank passwords can't be used over the network. I hereby award Microsoft 1 point for enabling this feature that will increase your security assuming you have no firewall or router and are still stupid enough to have no password, and deduct 1000 points for all of the networking problems I've had everytime I try to access one of my family's computers that doesn't use a password. Apparently my assumption that setting the account to allow remote access meant the account allows remote access was foolish.
