Permissions question:

[ST4RCUTTER]

I have two computers behind a router that are in the same Workgroup. I can see both computers in "My Network Neighborhood" but the system prompts for a username and password when I try to access the other computer from both systems. Neither computer requires a login at boot so I'm assuming that both computers are logged in as admin. How do I go about setting up permissions so both computers can access the other computer's files? I checked the properties of the main folder I want to share and I do not have an option to share with another system. Both systems are running Windows 2K Pro.

Thanks!

If you have an account on each machine that matches the name/password that is used on the other machine, it should solve the problem. Note that even though you don't have to login, there is at least a name associated with the computer, and most likely a password. Check in Users & Passwords, it's probably setup to not require a login, it just plugs the name/password and brings up the desktop.

That was pretty much it. I just had to setup an account on both computers that I could log onto. It seems that once I have logged in it maintains the association so that I don't have to enter the name/password again. Thanks for the help gunrunnerjohn.

Glad you're all fixed up!
