[hno2005]

HI
I have a lan network between two computer and one of them has windows xp running and the other one has windows 7.I didn't have problem with xp but in 7 when I go to network and want to open the shared drive on the other computer it shows me a new window and it says Enter network password .This problem isn't with xp.
What is the problem?

Thanks

Hi and welcome

I susppect you are using hoegroup for networking in win 7. when you first set up homegroup it created a password for you. You can find out what it is by going into the homegrope control panel. And just to make networking a bit easier, I would suggest you ise workgroup. If you are using workgroup you can disable IPv6 in networking and sharing.

hope this helps
