This is a common thing with any NT based system.
For you to setup access, the username and password you log into each system must
exist not only on the one you are logging into, but any other system must have the
same username/password for you to be authenticated. This is true for any machines
not in a domain.
Windows 9x does not do this because it doesn't care and is not secure at all (it
only uses passwords for desktops and some minor network functions).
