Vista Drive Mapping Problem
We recently purchased 3 dell pc's for our small remote field office...
They are Vista Home Basic...
I set up a shared folder on one of the pc's name 'hydrair file sharing' - workgroup on all pc's is 'hydrair'
I cannot map to this shared folder...
It is asking for a user name and password...
I do not have passwords set up on any of the pc's...
The pc name containing the shared folder is 'sharon'...
I tried '\\sharon\hydrair file sharing' without a password...
It will not accept this..
What is the correct syntax?
What am I doing wrong?
thank you in advance...

Just for grins, what happens when you use the IP address instead of the name ?
\\ \hydrair
Something else to look at:
Start / Right-Click Network /Properties
What are your settings for File sharing and Password protected sharing ?
