Hi All,

I've got my media center running vista now but I can't access it on the network.

It says in 'network and sharing center' that the file sharing is on but is password protected, but there is no password for logging on to this computer?! This means thet when i try to acces it on the network I'm asked for a password that doesn't exist!!

What makes it even more strange is that my other pc that is running vista does have a password for logging on but there's no mention of that in 'network and sharing center'!

I hope someone knows the answer cos I don't want to have to put a password on it. It seems that the changes to networking in Vista have me well and truly stumped! :confused:
 
It's ok, I've found the option for password protected sharing. What a muppet.........

.......still, that should really be disabled automatically if there is no system password. Nice work Microsoft. :rolleyes:
