    Need permission to get on another machine


    My Desktop machine (Win XP) can see my laptop machine (Win 7) but won't let me on.

    Laptop can access Desktop.

    I don't need a password to get on my laptop and both networks are on Mshome.

    The only thing I know I did was change password after "sleep" and then "removed" password all together.

    Removed "Account password" but think that is the same.

    I think you need a password for both. I would put a password in place for both. Try that.
