bookie32 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hi guys!I don't understand the problem I am having?!! I have several Windows 7 computers on the same home network, but can't access one from the other.I have my main computer and my business computer.On the main computer I can get access and share files with the business computer. On the business computer I can't get access to the main computer and it asks for a password to the domain it is on?!Why should the business computer think that the main computer is part of a domain?Both are on the same network!A window pops up for the user name, password to a domain I have but the computer in question isn't a part of it?. In the network window it shows the main computer as part of home network. It is like a contradiction in terms.....Has anyone got any ideas on this, please!bookie32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Maybe I'm seeing it backwards, but was the work computer ever joined to a domain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberpyr8 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 The best way to do it is create an account with a username and password on the main computer. On the business computer try using maincomputername\username and the password to connect. So if the main computer is named PC1 and the business computer is names PC2, create a user on PC1 and from PC2 login using PC1\username. That should work. Since the main PC isn't on a domain just use the computer name instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
