I just purchased a new Toshiba laptop. It is 64 bit with Vista Home Premium.
Desktop is Compaq with XP. Connection between the two is cable direct connect through a Linksys router. Occasionally I do go wireless. Its a very simple network and its doesn't require any security since i am the only person that uses both computers.
Toshiba can read and write files on Compaq.
Compaq can see the Toshiba in its network places but when I double-click on it, I get a request for a username and password which I do not know what to respond to since I have no passwords set on the Toshiba.
I've set sharing on Toshiba C-drive and even turned off the Windows Firewall.
How do I turn the password prompt off or at least know what to respond.
Thank you to anyone who can help or point me in the right direction.
