XP Home has broken networking (to increase sales of XP Pro).  It forces 
all users to come in as guest.  You'll need to upgrade to XP Pro or 
Linux to get non-guest access.

It depends a little on what OS they are using.  If it's Win32 or a *nix 
using a CVSNT client then SSPI would work well.  You could also consider 
sserver (I believe it's more secure?).  SSH is a little tricky on Win32 
to set up and has caveats, but works great from Linux/BSD/etc.
