Home Network

hello,

i have a netgear wireless router that i am using for my home network. i only have my desktop (hard lined to router)and laptop (wireless) on my network. i like to use the \\computername\c$ command to access files on hard drive of either computer. everytime i try to use this command i get a login box that prompts for GUEST login and will not allow you to switch users. no matter what p/w i used i could never login to the c$ of the other computer. i went in on both computer's and set the guest user login p/w under the user accounts and under computer management. it would not accept the p/w i just set when i tried to connect. so i made sure both pc's had the same workgroup name. nada. neither setting the guest login p/w or setting to the same workgroup did any good.

i'm stumped. a friend suggested that it had something to do w/ running xp pro on both pc's.

any idea's or suggestions?

thanks in advance.

If you have a login screen, MS uses this as the machine name.
