hello,
i have a netgear wireless router that i am using for my home network. i
only have my desktop (hard lined to router)and laptop (wireless) on my
network. i like to use the \\computername\c$ command to access files on
hard drive of either computer. everytime i try to use this command i
get a login box that prompts for GUEST login and will not allow you to
switch users. no matter what p/w i used i could never login to the c$
of the other computer. i went in on both computer's and set the guest
user login p/w under the user accounts and under computer management.
it would not accept the p/w i just set when i tried to connect. so i
made sure both pc's had the same workgroup name. nada. neither setting
the guest login p/w or setting to the same workgroup did any good.
i'm stumped. a friend suggested that it had something to do w/ running
xp pro on both pc's.
Disable Simple Sharing from Folder Options>View tab on both machines. Create
identical user accounts/passwords on both machines. Make sure whatever
firewall is being used allows the lan as trusted.
