An authentication error occurred

[Claudio Coletta]

Windows XP SP2, by default, don't accept "NT Logon Authentication" connection without a 
password (in fact without a password you also cannot access to "directories sharing").

To use "NT Logon Authentication" you need a password or you must change a setting in the 
user or system profile (if I remember well).
