You have it wrong. It is you who does not understand networking. Local
authentication doesn't have anything to do with deciding if anything is
valid for a different computer. It only decides for itself. That's what
"local" means.
There is no point in going on with this in a newsgroup. Much as I would love
to help you - and could probably straighten out your network in a very few
minutes if I were there (as could any competent computer tech) - there
really isn't anything further I can do for you in a newsgroup. You cannot
or will not understand. There is nothing wrong with networking in any of
the Windows operating systems - they all network with each other fairly
easily and seamlessly.
I'm very sorry that I was unable to help you. You should have a local
professional come on-site and set you up.
EOT for me.
