I have a 2 computer network both with XP pro. I added a USB 2.0 external
drive to computer MAIN. MAIN also has drive C and Drive D plus an HP
printer and a scanner also connected to USB ports. A CD drive shows up
as E and the USB drive is F. Sharing is set to Share Folder and Allow
Network Users to Change Files for all drives, C:, D:, E: and F:. When
using computer MAIN, I have no problem reading and writing files to the
USB drive.
However, when I go to the second computer, TEST. I cannot access the
USB drive. I can access drives C:, D: and E: on MAIN from TEST with
no problem. But when I try to access the USB drive, I get a screen that
states the following:
================================================
Connect to MAIN
User Name MAIN\Guest This line is greyed out so I can't change it.
Password
=================================================
Here it is requesting a password. How can I get rid of this request for a
password? I don't get the request when I access any other resource on the MAIN
computer from TEST. Or do I have to some how set up a "Guest" account with a
password?
