Hi,going more grey be the minute, I'm trying to get my laptop and PC to share music/video etc but they refuse and bring up a 'Enter Network Password' and require a user name and password. Both have fresh installs of Windows 7 64 bit and to my knowledge I haven't set a password for it. I know the log on to the router and have set up a homegroup password both of which fail to excite the enter network password field.

Any ideas will be gratefully tried.

regards

1196555 2011-04-23 01:44:00 To complete Speedys instructions;

Click start, type in sharing in the results, click on " Manage Advanced Sharing Settings " --- look at the attachment here, the ones highlighted. Take note of teh bottom one especially, that's whats asking for the password.

Also make sure sharing is enabled fully in the shared folder - right click it, properties - Sharing - Click Share button, in the drop down window, select Everyone - click add, change permissions to Read write if you want to allow control, click Share - Done.

Next Advanced Sharing / Share this folder - Permissions - put ticks under allow.
