Access From Network

[Miha Pihler]

Hi Kahuna,

are you asked to enter your Username and Password when trying to access your
shares?

Let say you have PC named PC1 witch has user account User1 with password
Password1 and Share1

You try to access Share1 on PC1 from your PC2. If you are prompted for
username and password, try to enter this under username box: PC1\User1 and
of course Password1 under password part of the box. Don't forget \ sign
under username part where you first enter PC name and then your username.

Hope this solves your problem ...
