I have 4 Win 7 comps and 1 XP laptop. The XP laptop can see all the comps on the network, but when I click on any of them it comes up with a login & password prompt. I never set up any network password on any of the PCs, 7 or XP. I tried the standard username/password for the comp I was trying to access & the pc I was using and every other combo I could think of. What password is it asking for?

Thanks,
Brad

Try creating a file share on the computer you are trying to access, that should bypass any sort of authentication, but you should be able to put in the admin user name/password combo of the computer you are trying to access.

This is more a Windows question, not really a Wireless issue.
