My account on Win XP is the "Owner" account....I'll try the backup with Lisa and Owner without the password. Maybe I'll have to create a password on the desktop..I'm off to try. ....Lisa peter wrote: Quote: > the username/password that you use on the Desktop > peter > "Lisa Hetherington" <gerry.lisa@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:fddoov$9hr$1@xxxxxx Quote: >> Hi everyone, >> >> When I try to backup my laptop to a shared external hard drive plugged >> into the desktop computer, Vista asks me for a username and password. >> >> *************** >> Enter a user name and password to access \\HOMEPC\external hard >> drive\Lisa laptop backups\. >> ***************** >> >> What username and password do I need to enter? >> >> ...Lisa |

| | Re: backup to a network drive is asking for username and password. Hi, I'm having the same issue. I can access the folder I want to backup to and can copy to/from it but keep getting asked for the password when I want to backup. Did you get anywhere with this?

| | RE: backup to a network drive is asking for username and password...wh I am facing the same problem. I want to backup to Buffalo LinkStation drive. I have not setup any passwords. I have about 6 computers in the home network. They all run fine witout having any password. I can access ALL shares using 2 Vista Ultimate. BUT, when i tried to bakup on Buffalo LinkStation. Vista insists that I enter a user name and password. I really do not need or want to password protect the backup. I just want Vista to go ahead and proceed without having a password. But I can go past this point. So I can not backup on my 350GB LinkStation :-(. Any workaround??????
