| | accessing an XP Home computer I have an XP Home PC on my LAN with a administrator level user and password. On my Vista home PC I run this command at the command prompt: net use G: \\xplaptop\c$ /user:xplaptop\theusername Then press enter and prompted for password. I enter password for that user and I get System error 86 has occurred. The specified network password is not correct. What am I doing wrong? |
