Accessing other computers without passwords
I have 3 computers all running Vista Home Premium that I am trying to share a
printer and files between them. On 2 of the computers, I can access the printer and files without a password. When I try to do this on the 3rd computer, it asks me for a user name and password. Conversely, the other two computers can't connect to the 3rd without it asking for a password. I have password protection turned off on all three computers. They all are in the same workgroup.

Accessing other computers without passwords
Hi Tom. Do you have matching user names and passwords on all the computers?
That should solve the problem. Thanks, Gloria -- Gloria Boyer Windows User Assistance Microsoft Corporation "TomY" wrote in message ...
