Hi,

A while back I purchaed a 5 port Netgear GS605 switch with intention of connecting all of the PC's in the house to it so we could take advantage of Gigabit LAN connections.

Ultimately I didn't use it as it caused a few problems, however those problems are back! :(

Using the switch now to connect additional devices (360/extra PC) to the internet which works fine. The problem lies with accessing other PC's on the network.

If I browse the network and select a PC, provide login details it simply refuses to let me in with an error of:

Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password

However I know the username/passwords are correct....

Any clever ideas?
 
Windows 7 :)

However I've just fixed the problem by clicking randomly! :D

It was something to do with the homegroup settings, was looking for a password there as well :confused:
