Have you given it a password?

hi

i will better explain (my bad)

my laptop has user logon pass my router has a pass but my desktop does not have a pass when i try to map a network drive on my laptop using my desktops drive as the network drive it asks for a pass word. i have tried the router pass and the laptops logon pass as they are the only passwords i have on the network. but neither work?

i cannot connect to my desktop using my laptop accross the network without a pass but other than the 2 i have mentioned that i tried i dont have any other pass?

I believe that windows requires that the account has a password for network sharing so try adding a password.
