Another guess is that perhaps you need to have the username and password databases synced between the three devices. Or merely between the two windows devices. You are probably browsing as 'guest' for example. And then trying to connect as 'guest. Not sharing files as 'guest' but only to a specific users should make them stop showing up as browseable to non-users, and when you connect will prompt you for a password. (which you can then let it memorize) On Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 7:57 AM, Jim Reisert AD1C w= rote: > On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 11:38 PM, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: > >> I believe my Windows file sharing is finally working by making the route= r a WINS server. > > Not quite yet. =A0On my wife's laptop (Windows XP), I can browse to > \\DESKTOP\My Documents (Windows 7). =A0I changed the path of the My > Documents folder on the laptop to be \\DESKTOP\My Documents.
