Make a screenshot with advanced sharing settings and post it here!
ok i just tried it on mine you have to turn off password protected sharing under the public tab
and then you will not get the user and password pop up box it should let you straight in
I've decided just to install windows 07 on this computer as well. The homegroup thing seems awfully convenient.
You do not need to set up homegroup in order to share files. In fact it's easier if you don't use it.
If the XP machine is prompting you for a usename and password, that means you need to do one of two things: enable the guest account (less secure) on the xp machine, or add a password for the account on the xp machine that you want to connect with. Hope this helps.
No, no. It's the Windows 07 machine that's prompting me for the username and password.
I have tried that. I created a new account (on the XP machine) with the username externAdmin and the password test, however when I try to use these credentials on the Windows 7 machine, they don't work.
