gui_m Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hi! I have a simple network set up with a linksys WRT54G. I have some shares on one of my PCs and I have disabled simple Filesharing. My brother's laptop from his company was specially configured so that everytime he tries to access my PC using "\\PCNAME" he gets a windows popping up prompting for a user name and password.Furthermore, he can log-in as a user that was created on my computer (i.e. he doesn't have to create a user with the same name/pass on his PC to access mine) I was wondering how they configured that. Any ideas? Thanks a lot. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Just disable simple sharing. The simple sharing allow access to a share with Guest user so no login/pass are required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to do the same for the other machines but I don't know how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
