Problem accessing my network on Vista drive when I try to back up the data on my PC... Does anyone know why it ask again me username and password?

I recently bought an external hard drive Iomega Network home. I've successfully connected to my home network. When I tried to back up the data on my computer on the network drive using backup under system and Maintenance of the Panel, he continues to ask me as user name and password I have no installation. I tried to use my password of the router and several other passwords, but it does not help. I have tried to map the drive to a different drive name and then access, but still it ask again me username and the password. Bottomline, there are user name and password, but still it ask again me one. How to solve this problem?

Hi fox55

Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

Try this step and check if it helps to solve your problem:

Password sharing is turned on.

Password sharing is enabled by default for computers of working groups. When password sharing is enabled, people using other computers on your network cannot access your shared folders or printers unless they have a user account on your computer. There are two ways to enable file or printer sharing:

Turn off password protected sharing. To turn off password protected sharing, follow these steps:

2. open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.

3. under sharing and discovery, click the arrow next to password protected sharing.

4. click on turn off password protected sharing, and then click on apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Note: Password sharing is not available on computers that are on a domain.

Also check this:

Follow the steps to set password of the credentials under vacuum:

Create a shortcut to (map) a network drive

When you create a shortcut to a shared folder or computer on a network (also called mapping a network drive), you can get to it from the computer or the Windows Explorer without having to search or type its network address to each time.

1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

2. click on map network drive.

3. in the drive list, click a drive letter.

4. you can choose any available letter.

5. in the folder box, type the path of the folder or the computer, or click Browse to search for the folder or computer.

6. to connect each time that you log on your computer, check Reconnect at logon .

7. click on Finish.

Your computer is now connected, or mapped, to the network drive.

See this link for more information:

Are there deposits in the router that blocks access? If there is, then try to turn it off and check if you can connect to an external hard drive. Go to this link:

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  • When I try to share files between two computers Windows XP with SP3, I'm invited for a user name and password on both.

    I set up a home network with 2 computers with XP Media Center 2002 SP3 1 and 1 with XP Home SP3 2002 can see computers on the network and the Ping works. But I wonder a user name and password. seems to come from the computer. Do not see documents shared to the Media Center computer.

    original title: file sharing problems.

    As far as I can remember, Media Center is XP Pro with additional multimedia functions.  What follows is a very old post by MS MVP Malke, but the Council is still sound:

    File sharing / print

    Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

    Configure Windows to login automatically (MVP Ramesh) -.

    http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/Autologon.htm

    D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

    F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.
