BC and Gary, I would highly recommend using a password with your "Family" network. If you leave filesharing enabled, and are connected to the internet, you have left your system in a less than secure state. There is a place to set a machine to remember the password - I think it is inside the chooser, where/when you select the other machine(s) on the network.
