chilifrei64 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 For starters... turn off Simple File Sharingthen you need to make sure that your 2 computers have the same usernames configured on themPC A: If you for example have a username John with a password of doe .... then on PC B make sure you have a username of John and a password of doe... Also make sure you are part of the same workgroup...when you access a pc across the network.. it will pass on the credentials that you are currently logged on with.. If pc B doesnt have the same credentials then it will prompt you for for the correct onesExample: PC A Username: John Password: doePC B Username: Billy Password: joelPC A accesses PC B with username John and password doe.... Does pc B have a record of that name... NO.Basically just make sure both computers have the same username and password used on each machine.. This will stop the prompting for passwords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Celt Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 All PC's should also be using NTFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayza Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 you could also just add the username and password of each computer to all 3 pc's. then when they connect the credentials are already there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSpear Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 One little tidbit I discovered in a home environment (non domain) is that you must have passwords set for all the users. If you try to authenticate using a credential that has no password it won't work. In an environment where security truly does not matter at all I always use the word "password" as the password. It's almost impossible to forget that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kti^ Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 If there is no need of security what so ever, just have autoadminlogon with user administrator and no psw on all computers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueSpear's is right, you will have problems authenticating if you dont have similar PRESENT passwords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
