Accessing home network computers


I'm trying to access other computers on my home network. My Vista laptop
recognizes the computers in the shared workgroup, but I cannot connect
to them. When I attempt to connect to the other computers in the
workgroup, the login dialog appears asking for user name and password.
Vista appends the computername as part of the username
(computername\username), which the other workgroup computers do not
recognize. Would like to just enter the username without having the
computername automatically appended. Is there a way to suppress the
computername when providing the username?
