blachole Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 I recently setup a small home network. I have a linksys wireless router. The 2 computers that are wireless have xp and can network and share fine. However the win2k machine that is directly connected to the router isnt connecting. It keeps asking for a username/password. I want to be able to share the printer dowstairs with the 2 winxp machines. Why wont it let me? It shows up on the workgroup, but wont connect.

murr Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 create a local user account on the xp machine for the w2k user. w2k username and password = xp username and passwork. then share printer adding that user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoMayhem Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 You SURE they are the SAME username/passwords on all 3 computers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blachole Posted September 5, 2003 Author Share Posted September 5, 2003 oh they have to be same password too? Thing is though that shouldnt matter. If it asks me to log on I shoul dbe able to log on with the admin on that computer and it still go through..but its not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
