New Network Help


Recommended Posts

I have 2 computers on my network. 1 desktop 2nd is my laptop. All I did was set them both on the same Workgroup. I see both computers but when i try to connect its asking me for a user name and password. Well, I have not set up any passwords on this. So My question is, is it using a default password, or do i need to set one up on both computers?

I am running XP on both.

Thanks in advance for your help.

its asking for a password because you have either set a password up for the "Guest" user on your system or the "guest" user is disabled.

Right Click my computer and left click manage,

Expand the tree until you get the user's,

Either enable guest or enable guest and give it a password,

Da Daaaaaa,

*Also*

A more advanced way is to let users authenticate as themselves by going into administration tools, clicking Local Security Policy, Expanding the tree till you find security options and then look for the Authentication Method setting and change it from "Guest Only" to "Classic - Users Authentical As Themselves"
