I have a machine on the home network running win2k pro with the printer installed on it. I set it up as a shared one with no access rights/open to everyone, and when i try to connect to it with the other computers (both XP) it propts for a username and password. I tried changing the printer so it needed a username and password, entered that and it doesnt work still. Same with shared folders. Can anyone help me out with this?! I need to print some photos off to take to the bodyshop asap! Cheers, Matt

when prompted, simply click cancel, this will let you use the other computer. even though it does prompt, it shouldnt need it.

and i know the network is fine cos i can access files on this computer from the other two, so i must have set it up wrong somewhere.
