Password is needed to connect to other computer
Hi all,
I have created a small LAN in my home with 3 computers. Although 2 of them can access to each other, the other one asks for username and password to be connected to others. Does anyone know how I can remove this authentication process? Thanks |

Thanks Ehsan, On any XP Pro computer, check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control Panel - Folder Options - View - Advanced settings) is enabled or disabled. With XP Pro, you need to have SFS enabled. On XP Home, and on XP Pro with Simple File Sharing enabled, make sure that the Guest account is enabled. Enable Guest with Start - Run - "cmd", then type "net user guest /active:yes" in the command window. On XP Pro, if you're going to use Guest authentication, check your Local Security Policy (Control Panel - Administrative Tools) - User Rights Assignment, on the XP Pro computer, and look at "Deny access to this computer from the network". Make sure Guest is not in the list. -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |
