Messing around here at home. Both a Mac and a PC are running, logged into user accounts with identical username and password.
To connect to the PC (after turning on SMB sharing and enabling the user account on the Mac) I open a Finder window, click the PC's icon and "Connect As" with credentials as expected and I can see stuff.
Going the other way, connecting to the Mac, didn't require any credentials to be entered and I can see my entire user directory on the Mac. Just click Network in an Explorer window and double-click the icon for the Mac.
Is that typical?
