Re: Accessing a printer on PC from laptop through a network

Hi Gail,
Run gpedit.msc again and take a look at the following keys:

Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies.
Under User Rights Assignments check the following keys:

-Access this computer from network (Guest should be in)

-Deny access to this computer from network (remove Guest and Everyone group)

Under the security options take a look at this key:

-Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only
(disabled)-only if local administrators do not have passwords

-Accounts: Guest account status (Enabled)

-Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumerations of SAM accounts
(enabled)

-Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumerations of SAM accounts and
shares (disabled)

-Network access: Allow anonymous SID/Name translation (disabled)

-Network access: Let everyone permission apply to the anonymous user
(disabled)

-Network Access: Sharing and security model for local accounts (Guest only)

When you successfully connect to the shared printer, right click on it and
choose Connect.

Regards,

Anton Pegan

I have a small wireless network running in my home which consists of a PC
and
a laptop with printers attached to the PC.

I would like to see the printers from my laptop so that I don't have to
continually unplug and plug in the printer to the laptop and visa versa.

I can see the printers on the laptop when they are attached to that, but
when I try and go the other way it asks for a username and password, I
don't
use any log on on the PC, can anyone help please, it is driving me up the
wall
