JL2008 Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Hi, I have an Windows 7 laptop. I am tyrying to connect to a Windows 2000 machine. I go to Start and then type in the PC name of the Windows 2000 machine. First it would ask me for a user name. Then it would ask me for a password. My laptop has no password. The last few times that I tried to connect to the PC, it only asks me for my password. When I connect my PC to an XP machine, it does not asks a user name/password. What can I do so it doesnt ask for a user name/password when I try to connect to the Windows 2000 PC. And this PC is not listed under Network. So the only I can connect to this PC is by going to Start and then entering the PC name. Quote

JL2008 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Posted December 24, 2012 Thanks for writing back. I am not sure if I understand your question. But I will give you some more info. I have my own laptop that has Windows 7. The Win2K is a desktop at my job. The PC's there are not on a domain. The laptop & desktop are both in the same workgroup. I am connecting to internet on both machines via an ethernet cable. Usually when I try to connect to the Win2K machine, I enter the user name and I able to connect to the machine. Quote
Plastic Nev Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 OK, what I am asking is what is connecting the two computers, is it just a cable of some sort, is it wireless, or a cable from each going into the ports on a router, or something else, we do need to know that to advise what to do next.
