My work laptop is part of the domain at work. When I come home, I
want to be able to connect to a file share on one of my home computers
(named BACKUP), which is not part of a domain.
The share on BACKUP is setup to only allow the administrator to access
it. Because I login to all my other home computers as administrator
with the same password, I can access this share from any other
machine.
When I try to access the share from my work laptop though, it fails,
and does not even give me a username/password prompt.
If I try to connect to a root like \\BACKUP\D$ (from my laptop), I DO
get a prompt, but I can't login. I tried "Administrator" and
"BACKUP\Administrator" as the username but it didn't work.
I tried creating an account on BACKUP that has the same login username
and password as my domain account that I use to login to the laptop,
and then granted that user the rights to access the share, but that
also didn't work.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?
