Hi,

I have a desktop and a laptop connected to same wifi router. Desktop is connected with wire and laptop with wifi. Both the system runs windows 7 and are on the same workgroup.

I have shared some folders on desktop and can view the shared folder list on laptop under "network places".

But when I try to open a folder, a prompt appears for username and password. When I enter BOTH username and password, It does not authenticate when I enter ONLY username, I get:-

"Windows cannot access \WIn71\Setups

you do not have permission to access ..."

Now to get around this message I have to give access to "Guests" group on my desktop shared folder.

Cant seem to figure out why It cant authenticate username with password. And giving access to "Guests" does not sounds safe!
