I have two pc's configured in a workgroup network (no domain controller)

pc1: windows xp pro (server for msde)
msde instance running windows authentication
listening on port 1433

pc2: windows xp pro
app program to connect to the pc1 msde instance

I'm trying to create a new sql server login using enterprise manager
but in using windows authentication the combobox for domain only list the pc1 as the available domain.

How can I add a new sql server login from pc2?
ex. pc2 has user2 as the local account name
how can I add user2 from pc2 to have a windows authentication
login in the msde instance?

You have to add user2 as a User on PC1. (Do this from Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Users and Groups.)
Make sure that you create user2 as PC2\User2 (Domain\UserName).
