password?

Archived from groups: (More info?)

I am using windows XP, with a Linksys router
One PC is connected via cable the other via wireless adapter.

I finally was able to get the 2 computers to share the printer. ( I needed
to deal with Firewall stuff, etc etc)
Wireless accesses the printer connected to the wired pc.

When I want to share a file/folder on the wireless computer with the wired
computer, it is asking for a password.
Yet, I did not set up a password, or I think I didn't. But how /where can I
check that??

I also have a external hard drive on the wireless computer that I want to
share. How can I do that?

Thanks for any input

You need to create share rights in/on the folders you want to be
shared. To create share rights:

1) Right click on the folder which is the subject of a share;
2) Go to properties (last item of the list);
3) The middle tab is sharing - click on this;
4) Go to the middle item which says: Network sharing and security
5) click the appropriate boxes to suit you.

Hope this proves useful.

Regards,

I have done this. But when I go to the computer to access those shared
files, I look at the network computers and I am asked for a password
