Evening,

I have a home network, with my main desktop running XP Pro. The laptops (which view its shared files wirelessly over the network) run Vista or 7. I have all the shares setup correctly on my XP machine and just recently (after I moved house) it's stopped working.

 

Previously I could browse from the Vista machine to my XP machine, double click on a shared folder and view the files in it, as well as having read/write access. However now I get prompted to enter a login password. I've never had a login password on the XP machine, and never had to enter a network share password before. Googling doesn't give any useful suggestions (ie, ones that work). Anyone able to suggest something to get rid of this password please? I just want to access my shared folders over my network as I have been able to previously, without having to enter any password.

Thanks in advance :)
