Well, afaik the box has at least the user account "Administrator",
even you choose not to do login when the XP box boots.
The password may be empty in this case, but i don't know
since i don't use XP.

Well the error message points out, that your box does not have a share with that
name. Ok, this might be confusing since it may be the result of failed
authentification.

Just take a windows box which can log onto the share,
go into it's network neighbourhood, browse the XP box
and look, how the available shares are named.

Try to use this in //192.168.99.100/<ShareName>.
Try with user Administrator and empty password, too.

P.S.: one "PLEASE" in the body of your post would have been enough:-)
