XP: Sometimes connecting to remote volume requires login as guest
Two machines:
Notebook's name: "calliope" Desktop's name: "sazha" I long ago made a local volume on my notebook "Y:" access the remote volume "C:" on my desktop. So on my notebook (calliope), perhaps half the time now whenever I either 1. click on a shortcut to Y: (the remote access to \\sazha\c) or 2. Use "Add Network Place" to access "\\sazha\c" I get a request to access it as Calliope/Guest. WHY????? And why only SOME times? http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/f...opeasGUEST.png Note in this picture that the title of the window says "connecting to calliope" but within the window it says "connecting to sazha", and then asks for a password. Most of the time if I reboot both machines, this silly dialog goes away. Not this time. ALSO: I cannot use remote desktop from the notebook to the desktop when this happens. The connecting window just flashes the connection dialog and then vanishes without further info. AND: When this happens I cannot print to the remote printer on the desktop. Ideas? |
