Home network connection problem
I am running Vista Home Premium on a desktop connected via wire to the
internet through a router. In Network and Sharing Center ther is a Home Network that lists my router, my desktop and 2 of my laptops that are set up for wireless connection. I can access all the files on one of my laptops running XP but when I attempt to access the other laptop (alos running XP) it asks me for a user name and password. I have tried every conceivable combinations of id's and pwords I've ever used and I still get the Login unsuccesful message. I don't even have an administrator or any user password set up on that laptop. What am I missing?

Have you at some time put a password on that account ? If so try removing it ( set it to nul). Tom

Thanks Tom. I've never activated the Guest Account so ther's no passwords
associated with it. "Tom Allen" wrote: "zingcal" wrote in message ... I am running Vista Home Premium on a desktop connected via wire to the internet through a router.
