If you have the same Windows accounts (and passwords?) on all PC's it will work fine. Otherwise try entering the username/password combination you use to logon on the remote machine.
If all Pc's are Windows 7, a homegroup is an easier solution than the classical folder/printer share.

Hello,
I am trying to create a home network, so that we can share files between pc's TV and media player. Windows 7 has such a facility built in, it seems, which is a nice surprise, because I thought I was going to need network cards in all pc's.
If I go to Control Panel/Homegroup in Windows 7, I get a message that this pc cannot be connected. If I go to Control Panel/Network and Sharing Center it shows that there IS a Network (Network 6) and that my PC is connected to it. Anyhow this is just a small issue and it seems that I can work around it.
More important, when looking into other computers, I need a user name and password. Password I have, because I wrote that down when first PC's were connected with ethernet cables. But a USERNAME I cannot remember. How can I find the username????
any help here?
Thanks,
Rob
