I have sharing set up, on an ad hoc network. Everything except logon is
successfully connected. In Windows Explorer, I click on 'network' and get shown 'JoesHP', I click on that then I get a sign-in box with User name, and password required. What is the construction of the User name? Is it just the user account name at the destination JoesHP? When I've tried just the destination user name eg Joe (the admin account on the JoesHP machine), and the password for that account on the destination machine, I get refused access with a message "Logon unsuccessful" What user name are they looking for, the login end (here)? or that I'm trying to log into there?, what would be an archetypal username construction, eg JoesHP\Joe or just Joe, and, which password are they requesting- *here*? or *there* at destination trying to be logged on to? |
