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.
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.

Cannot share files between two computers.
I want to be able to share files between my computer and my wife we have a home network and I can see the file sharing is enabled. When I go to the networks in Explorer:
1. I see her computer
2. He asks me a username and password. What is my user name or his.
3. password? Is the WiFi password, the home page group passes, my password of the computer or its password to the computer.I have not found a combination that works. I need to get this working so that we can both use Quickbooks. It would be useful for many other exchanges of files we currently do by e-mail. Note that we have no problem to access two network printers, or send files to a print server that manages our tracer.
Hello
Sorry for the late reply.
Method 1
I suggest leaving the homegroup and see if it helps.
Leave a homegroup
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/leave-a-HomeGroup
After that I suggest you refer to the procedure described in the following article and join in Group once more.
Method 2
I suggest you to temporarily disable the anti-virus by following the link below and check the State.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-softwareNote: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Please let us know if the problem persists. We will be happy to help you further.

I am unable to share files between 2 computers 32-bit and 64-bit windows 8. Please tell me a solution.
The number of bits of the processor is not influence it. If you are having problems sharing files, the bit of the processor is just a coincidence.
What is the error you get when you try to share a file? And what method do you use to share? Homegroup? Right-click to stock option? Or something else?

Hello Ashan,
Thanks for the reply.
You can try to follow the following suggestions to solve the problem.
First, try to reset Internet Explorer and see if that helps.
Reset Internet Explorer
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/923737
Note: The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you have added to the list of Trusted Sites. Reset the Internet Explorer settings can also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the reset Internet Explorer settings. Reset Internet Explorer is not reversible, and all the previous settings are lost after reset.
Additional information:
We can also refer to the computer or the device manufacturer's Web site and try to update the latest version of the network adapter drivers.
(Also works for Windows 8)
Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

Original title: I just reformatted my computer and now when I turn on my lap top there need a username and password and I have no idea what is it please can someone help me
If you reformatted your computer / reinstalled Windows XP, then you entered an administrator password twice, possibly with a security issue, or you have left all these blanks.
Try:
-Username: admin - password:
-Just to fill the area of the administrator user and press enterIn addition, if you load to the Welcome screen, now try the CTRL + ALT key and tap DEL twice. This should give you CTRL + ALT + DEL logon box.

Double check my file AND I go to the Adobe site to connect with the same information. and it works very well.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Help please.
Could you please try ComputerName administrator as username and the password as password.
I hope this works.

I am a PC user and I have Adobe Creative Cloud Muse 2014. I received the "could not sign in you [access denied: 530]." Check your username and password "error. trying to download my muse to my ftp, GoDaddy host site I did it successfully in the past and that recently it has stopped working. I looked online at the Adobe Muse Help FAQ | Download a Site from Muse Adobe on a third-party hosting service and he said to download the ftpprefs.xml file but this file simply leads to a blank page that says / * not found * / / * not found * /.
Can you direct me to a page to work with this file, or provide an alternative? Thank you!
Hello
As you have found the error [access denied: 530] This means that the problem is with access. The user name and password that you enter is incorrect or you don't have the appropriate permissions.
I suggest you to contact Godaddy to reset the password or reset the permissions.

File sharing works is not between two computers Windows 7 Home Premium on a work network.
Desktop computer is connected to a hub that is connected to a wireless router.
Laptop connects via the wireless router.
Both computers are in the same workgroup.
Two computers indicate that they are in the same network of 'work '.
The two computers 'see' each other.
Both computers have the same advanced sharing settings:
- Turn on network discovery
- Open file and printer sharing
- Turn on public folder sharing
- Streaming media is off
- Use 128-bit encryption
- Turn on password protected sharing
- Homegroup connection is not used, but is set to 'use user accounts and passwords'.
As I try to get the laptop to connect to a share on the desktop computer, the user accounts and passwords on the desktop include the user account and the password for the laptop. This is an administrator account.
There are actions on the desktop computer and these actions include the credentials of the user of the laptop computer with read/write access.
Or machines is now faced with my right. I know one of them use AVG Free, but I'm not sure what the other computer uses for antivirus.
I get the error message has to do with the user account that I use is not eligible not by office machine. I'll post the exact message when I am in front of the computers within a few hours.
Sharing files between the two had worked, but then stopped. When you first install file sharing, that I had run into a different problem on the desktop where all settings indicated should be shared, but clicking on through a screen I got a message that file and print sharing has been disabled and I want to turn it on? (even while fixing in advance sharing settings says he was turned on...)
Any ideas? I'm pulling out my hair. Thank you!
