A little progress! From LT of desktop it now does not ask for login name and PW and shows the C drive folder and a couple of other shared folder. But still says I don't have permission to access. Login from DT to LT still asks for login name and password and denies access says user name is invalid: \\DELLLAPTOP\Rocky R -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of jbartow at winhaven.net Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 10:42 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Network Password If you have the same login/password on all machines it makes it easier. Also you must have file sharing turned on for all computers that you want to do it with. (Just type file sharing into the search box on the start menu.) If they are all Windows 7 then use the "Homegroup" feature and let Windows manage it all. (I don't but that's just because of what I do.) Also, if you are using a security suite that includes a firewall, that firewall may be causing problems. Turn that off until you figure it all out. jb -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 12:26 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Network Password Windows 7 Ultimate. I have another box on the network and have no problem passing files back and forth. No login requested. Don't know why.

I am trying to get my laptop - which I only use for travel - to talk to my primary box so I can upload stuff I need to take with me. I've been working around this for a long time by copying to my external HD and plugging that into the LT. But that's soooo unprofessional. When I try to connect to the main box from the LT or from the LT to the main box I get a dialog box asking me to Enter Network User Name and Password but I have no idea what this could be. Main box does not have a login, just fires right up - LT has a login - user name and password, but that does not work as credentials on either box. Any ideas how to find the Network User Name and Password?
