I have two laptop PCs connected trough a router. The problem is that
everytime that I try to access one of the PCs, from the other one, a window,
asking me the guest account password, appears... and the guest account is
disabled! I was able to ping the two machines so I'm assuming that they are
correctly connected. I've disabled the firewall, but didn't work either. What
else can I do?
