i lately got a new pc
and i figured it out my old laptop got some problem
I can easily connect to my old pc as below



gwmi win32_operatingsystem -computername 192.168.0.XXX

which i can't do on other computer.
is there any way i can switch off this. or at least it will ask for
credential.

is the firewall blocking access?
what OS is the new machine running?
do you have the same account name on both machines?
