My guess is that your XP user name and password are different from your
FreeBSD user name and password. You can try a couple of things: On your XP
computer create a user account that matchs your FreeBSD account and login
information and see if it pesters for the password and name; the other is
create an account on your FreeBSD computer to match your XP user name and
password and see what happens.
