Hi ive just built a new pc with windows 7 64,both my pcs have win 7 64 both are running through a switch that is connected to a router, the internet is working fine but when i try to access each pc from the other it says

i dont have permission to access, contact your network admin?

the workgroup is workgroup for both no password for sharing and all settings are the same?

If you were trying to access the C drive, it's normally a system share and hidden hence using the '$' to access it. Click on start, run and enter
\\machine name or ip\C$

ive done this now i have a window asking me to enter a network password?

I dont have one?
