Hi All
It seems as though this should be simple! I have folders
on the desktop
machine that I have right clicked and selected Local
Network Share.
Within the settings I then clicked share this folder and
allow guest access.
On my laptop I then open files and select other
locations and then
select the desktop. I have the folders listed as shared.
I double click
and get a dialogue box that says password required for
share movies. If
I ignore this and click collect, it tells me unable to
access location,
Permission denied. I then try selecting registered user
and I enter my
username and password and it gives me no dialogue box
just returns to
the same screen.
What am I doing wrong please and how can I fix it. Many
thanks.

Are you entering the username and password of
the desktop user that owns the files/folders?
Grant. :)
