Windows tries something called "pass through authentication".

If you try to connect to a share it presents to that computer the username and password that you are logged in as.

The easy solution for 5 workstations is to have the usernames and passwords on each system for each user.

The correct way is to share things through your server not workstations, the server (should) get backed up. Keep your data there.

Also, don't use IPC$ shares - those are for inter system process communications. Don't use c$ shares. Create shares, name them, map drives to them if you need to use your XP machines to directly share.
