Adding Netbook to workgroup

Jon12345 · 19 Nov 2008 at 11:08

I have a Win XP workgroup (MSHOME) setup between 2 computers at home. Just bought a Samsung NC10 (very nice too!) and want to add it to the workgroup. When I try to connect to it via Explorer, it shows the following popuup:

Username: SAMSUNG-NETBOOK\Guest
Password: (wants me to enter something here)

What do I need to do so that it doesn't ask for a password and perhaps logs in as the default user?

By the way, I can easily navigate to my desktop PC from the Netbook and explore folders etc. But not the other way. :S

Thanks,

Jon

Originally, it had a standard Administrator account with no password. And I got the same message as when I added the password. The username/password on my Netbook is the same as on my desktop PC.

Not sure why it comes up with the Guest account. :S

Would that make any difference if it is asking for a password anyway?

Sorted! I hadn't set the C drive to being shared. Thanks guys.
