So I finally got around to linking up my little girls SFF case and mine, on a Linkysy router. All has gone great, except it asks me for a passwork when I try to browse the other PC. Both PC's can surf the web fine.

I didnt see anything about it in the manual.. and I didnt set any passwork when installing WinXP. I thought the default was "admin" or something, but that didnt work either. So I set a password for Windows for both PC's, they dont work.

Im a networking moron, any help?

Err, surely it's not asking for the Administrator password.

:huh:

I dunno, I didnt setup one when I installed XP. I did though just before I posted this thread, and that didnt work either. Im confused ;/

Try accessing /computername/c$ over the network. Login using Administrator and a blank password. (I'm assuming you did not rename the login)
