awesome,

Ya i basically just do the typical web surfing and online gaming.

Now how do you setup the network so that it requires a login/password to get into the workgroup.

Well when I first had the other PC's listed on my work group I would double click them and then a login screen would come up. I would log into that pc as if I was actually on that pc and logging into xp pro and it would then take me to the screen where I could view and access the shared folder and shared printer. Im guessing I set this up already or it is a default option.

Now I did notice that if my main pc is not turned on then my other pc says I dont have to that workgroup. Does the main pc have to be on for the workgroup to be on? (I believe I used that pc to originally setup the workgroup.)
