I have a Vista laptop which connects to my desktop via wireless access point.
When I draw a full map I see the access point and internet, but not the desktop computer. The desktop is listed under "discovered devices which can not be mapped". When I double click on it I get a box titled "Connect ot <name of desktop computer>. It wants a user name and PW. I don't know what to enter. My desktop doesn't have a "user name". What does it want ?

When I setup a homegroup on my Desktop (windows 7), it gave me a PW which I wrote down. But it does not show a User Name. I am lost. How do I get Desktop computer to show up on network map ?
