Network share all of the sudden asks for username and password???
I have 2 windows 7 machines and xbox 360. I use xbox to watch movies or stream music from my computer. Everything worked fine untill out of the blue my windows machine started to ask for a username a password to see it. I cant even see the shared folders on the computer anymore. I have checked my other computer, it has the same thing, asks for username and password.
I have looked at my settings in advanced sharing settings:
on: network discovery
on: file and print sharing
off -> on: public folder sharing(thought that would fix the issue)
off: password protected sharing.
I am not part of any home group.
I have googled around and all what I found was that there has to be something to do with guest account, so they said remove the guest password, which i did.
Then someone else said disable guest account and system management, which I did, but there is no change.
I have a shared folder that I need to access without a username or password from anywhere on my network from any mashine. It has permission for everyone to be able to access it. And it did work untill all of the sudden windows 7 computer started to ask for username and password.
Is there anyways to fix that? Thank you!
