So I have 2 computers connected via peer to peer networking through Windows XP. Everything is fine, both computers can use each other's resources. The one problem is the one computer that shares the printer (call this computer A) always asks computer B for a password whenever you want to access any of its resources.
I've never set any password for file or printer sharing...and for computer B to allow access I have to type the Admin name and PW of computer A. Now this is only for Computer A.... Computer B never asks for a PW...I figured a way around this by checking the "Remember Password" check box...but now I'm just interested in why it asks for a PW in the first place....
Any ideas?
