hello.
I have an issue accessing my lapptop from my PC no matter what setting or passwords i use.
Initially, i could get to my lap top from the PC but never the other way around. One day i go to access and no link was there. when i looked at the homegroup on the laptop i seen my PC name listed and clicked it and it opened (As i said, that was not happening before) I run troubleshooter and from control panel i set up to not use passwords and did that on both computers. It stll asks for them and i still can not get to the lap top.
And this is driving me mad also: When i select to change password on the lap top, the old one shows up so i can type a new one, right? WELL, it is a bunch of numbers and text. NOT my password i chose. So i give it a new one then go to PC and when i try to go to Lap top via the homegroup , it says password was changes, so i enter the new one and it connects as it did before. NOW i do the same with the PC in hope that when i try to connect to the lap top from PC it will ask for the password and connect, but when i click change password, again it is a bunch of numbers and text, so i change it and do as i did with the PC but still no connection. Right away i go to change password i changed only 2 mins before and the old one is a bunch of numbers and text again!! No matter how many times i change the lap top and PC password, they are always numbers and text in upper and lower case.
Perhaps i have to use them? Why should i ? Can i not simply share without all this rubbish? No one else has access to my computers there is only me here and both are my computers so why do i have to put up with this rubbish?
Anyone got any ideas / solutions ?
Thanks..
