charliefox Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Hi Thanks in advanceI have two machines both running xp pro connected to an adsl router. Both access the internet fine and I can see each machine listed in the home networking but when I try to access the laptop from the desktop it ask's for a user name and password although I have never set any passwords. Access from the laptop to the desktop is fine. Any idea's how clear the password short of doing a clean instal!Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcant Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 to the laptop add a new user, the same as the one you use on the desktop(same password as well)...dont know of a better solution, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinker Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 You may not have anything on the laptop set to share. Pick a folder and set it to be shared on the network and see if that helps. It has worked for me more that once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliefox Posted September 4, 2003 Author Share Posted September 4, 2003 Plenty being shared I'm still getting the same message logged on as a new user with the same ID as the the desktop! Is it possible having created a new user to delete the old one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0r3d Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Check your security settings of the folders you are sharing. There may be an issue there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
