Help removing Username/PW prompt in Workgroup
Hello, I'm having a very interesting problem. I have 2 Windows XP computers in a workgroup (MSHOME). One is XP Pro, other is XP Home. My computers have been able to communicate both ways, until earlier today when it suddenly started asking for a login password. Today morning XP Pro's firewall didn't want to start up for some reason or another and I googled the error and got a Microsoft solution, which was basically to reset the firewall in the registry, using a key that they have available for download. After that, I had issues even pinging. Now I've gotten them to ping by IP and by Name. However, when I try to access the Pro computer through the Home computer it prompts a login box. Initially the Username field was greyed out and said \\"PRO"\guest. After much research on the login box, I changed a security poilicy setting "Network Access: Sharing and Security model for local accounts" to Classic - local users authenticate as themselves. I thought this would remove the login box altogether which is what I want but it only made the Username field editable... Notes: Both Windows Firewalls are currently off Pro can browse Home's shared files But Home gets a Login Prompt to browse Pro. Guest account is disabled on Pro. All I want is for it to stop asking prompting for username and password box, this is a private network and this is just an unecessary hassle/waste of time. Thanks for your time. |
