It may not have been absolutely necessary on windows but many many user have found (I mean before the advent of windows 7) it necessary to have a like named user on all the windows machines involved in networking ... that is if you wanted to have smooth sailing and not have to diddle around too much. Some of the experts and semi-experts that have populated the newsgroup microsoft.public.windowsxp.* and its forrunners.. Have posted that as a solution to windows networking problems for yrs.
