Re: Locating expected User Name and Password

My network consists of a desktop computer (W2k, SP4) cabled to a linksys
router, and two wireless laptops (a Toshiba and an Acer), both running
Win XP, SP2.

From either laptop, if I try connecting with the desktop, I get a
prompt for a user name and password. I'd like to eliminate this prompt
completely. (Only I use the computers.) If that's not possible, how do I
find the name and password that the laptops are expecting?

Thanks,

Ray




Win2000 is a secure operating system. If you try to access its
shares under an unknown account then you get challenged. It
is as simple as this.

The answer is equally simple: Make sure that the Win2000 PC
has the same accounts / passwords that you use when logging
on to your laptops. If they don't exist, create them!
