Situation is:
Desktop has 2 NICs - one attached to ADSL router with CAT 5 cable
and the other attached to my notebook with a crossover cable.
I have created a Home Network and can see the notebook on the desktop and vice versa.
Problem is:
When I click on the desktop icon on the notebook, it asks me for a password for the Guest account, which is not activated on the desktop and even if it was, has no password. My user account has a password as does the Administrator account but neither password works. I have no option to change from the Guest account as this field is greyed out.
When I try to access the notebook on the desktop, it tells me that I don't have permission to do this although I have allowed access to the IP address (169.254.171.212) in Norton Internet Security.
I tried using CAT 5 cable from the notebook to the router instead of crossover cable but it makes no difference.
Can anyone suggest what may the problem and suggest a solution?
Tnaks in advance.
