Win7 network usename and password

I had one laptop wireless connected to my home network for years and had read/write access to the shared drives / directories during all this time.  Today, I tried to access the shared drives, as usual since my office and asked a network and password user name.

How will I know what they are, so that I can resume the sharing of files between the two machines.

I can see the name of the laptop and the directories shared which of I want to use the file manager on my office, but as soon as I try to see the files in these directories, I wonder username and password.

Any advice would be welcome.

  • I have 2 machines windows 7. I need to map network drive as one of them. the PC is displayed but when I try to connect it asks usename and password, but will not accept them. all solutions?

    It is a POS system where a machine acts as a server. 2 machines are on their own network.

    When you share the folder on the server, make sure that you set both the regular folder permissions and share permissions (on security and the sharing of the folder properties tabs).  The two sets of permissions must be set to allow access.

  • Win 7 ask network user ID and password

    I'm having a problem connecting to a shared printer and a shared disk on a computer XP SP2 from the Profession. My Win 7 machines keep asking for network ID and password, that I have ever created. I have read and tried all of the suggestions of this old thread nothing helps:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-networking/Windows-7-asks-enter-network-password-when/2a8e6d6f-74a1-43C7-8530-24e8522ea955

    Here's what I have:

    -All my machines are on the same workgroup. All the machines Win 7 are not in a homegroup.
    -Laptop 1: Win 7 Home Premium with password necessary sharing network disabled
    Laptop 2: Win 7 Home Premium with password necessary sharing network disabled
    Laptop 3: Win XP Pro SP2 with simple files and printers sharing active and has a printer and a USB connected hard drive
    Laptop 4: Win XP Pro SP2 with simple file and print sharing enabled and allowed in a shared folder

    When 1 or 2 portable Win 7 laptop trying to access 3 laptop (XP pro), the screen that ask you network ID and password always come and I have no password set, but one of these two machines Win 7 has no problem to access the 4 laptop computer that is also running XP Pro. The two XP machines have no problem accessing one or Win 7 machines, and both Win 7 machines have no problem to access each other.  I see four computers on my network card in Windows 7. I know that someone may tend to think the problem is on the side of the XP, but I searched everywhere on my XP machine, including the local policy settings under administrative tools, firewall, date and time setting, etc. The two XP machines is not any antivirus software installed. They are old and have almost nothing except the operating system device drivers and the XP laptop.

    One thing I noticed, is that when I double-click the icon of the laptop 3 shown on my Win 7 network card, the ID and password prompt screen entitled the path. I can only say - it's as if the problem is in my Win 7 machine. If I double click on the computer icon laptop 4, I can feel about a second delay and all the shared folders that pop up.

    I think I looked everywhere evident that I can possibly watch. Suggestions more? The reason why I want to go 3 laptop is Portable 3 is relatively newer and faster than the 4 laptop and I want old laptop 4 Finally. TIA.

    OK, after a few days of curious, I found the problem and indeed it was... so easy. Here's what I missed - on the laptop that I had problem laptop 3, which takes place in Win XP Professional SP2 v2002, there is an option called "Network ID" under the properties of my computer (right click my Comuter), on the computer name tab. Once you click Network ID, go through the Setup Wizard and select "this computer is for home use and is not part of a business network", reboot the machine. Now Win 7 don't ask network and password identification number more.

  • ID network and password.

    Hi guys

    I had an XP PC and laptop and a Win7 PC and down them on a Wi - Fi network on a working group called 'X' and all PC happily talking to each other. A month ago, I replaced the XP laptop with a laptop Win7 and it and release the Working Group X without problem.

    1 However, a lot of problems led me to need to have a mobile phone spare (identical) and when I ran across to the top, he finds the faulty laptop and has been set up on the working group using this and he contacted the task force without problem.

    2. the defective is now gone and today I changed the name of the laptop replacement. But whenever I want to access another group of work machine, I get a request ID and password - only for Win7 machines; there is no problem with the XP machine! I changed the settings do not ask for a password, but it does not seem to solve the problem.

    3. If I entered the name of my laptop because its ID and its network sharing Center password and it connected. I did the same thing with my PC and entered the name of the computer and the PC network sharing password Center and allowed access to this side here.

    4 1 problem: although I found I can connect using these identifiers and passwords, I didn't click on "remember the credentials" even in the case where I'm doing something irreparable. A silly question, but can I enter the laptop for the laptop only password and the password for the PC network only for the PC or should I just use the a passwords for both?

    5. issue 2: separately, in the network and sharing Center, I receive a message saying that Windows has detected another residential group on my computer and asks me if I want to join now. The thing is I don't know what is this homegroup, and I'm worried if I get the password of my PC I want to cause a problem and banjax connection I have via the ID and the password.

    I hope it's clear enough to allow someone to advise.

    Hello

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

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled).
    If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

    If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

    Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.

  • "The specified network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and password", trying to connect to a remote drive.

    Original title: the specified network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and password.__To to connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share.

    I am trying to connect to a remote drive. I clicked to map the drive, entered the name of the drive, came the name of login/password for the computer turns on and then it give me this error message: the specified network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and password. To connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share.

    In Windows 7 Enterprise, I would like to point out that, if you map \\server1\share1 as drive letter X using "user1" and "password1", then try to map \\server1\share2 (a different share) as drive letter Y using the same ID "User1" and "password1" and you select 'connect using different credentials' in the dialog box connect a network drive and specify the id "User1" and "password1". you will get this error MESSAGE INCORRECT that says 'the specified network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and password'.

    The message is bad because:

    1. the specified network (action2 in my example) folder is not mapped at all, and

    2. the server (in my example, "server1") is already mapped (to a different and different drive letter share) using the SAME user name and password.

    The error message is wrong in two respects.

    This let me puzzled for a while until I realized that once you have mapped to 'Server1' using the credentials, you can map to different actions on the same server without re - specify the credentials.  It is NOT CLEARLY the 'Map network drives' dialog box, which leads to users (like me, and I'm a programmer by trade) trying to enter credentials again and this incorrect error message.
