... sorry, so you mean to say it only ask for a password and not user id AND password?

it's asking for network credentials, then user name and password.

Have you tried putting in the userid and password of the other computer? The one you use to log onto it normally?

I'm not certain that sharing through W7 Homegroup could be used in your way. Either that or you may need to do add a mapp drive through your Explorer before hand.

I haven't got a log on or password for either pc...do you think i will need to create one for each pc?

I'm gonna forget what i just read.....but yeh would be a good idea to do so.

Only a home user, not really any need for a password....nothing to hide from the missus lol

Please try creating a user account, and use it as your credential. Let me know how that go.
