Trouble Connecting to Windows Network
I’m having a little trouble connecting to my own laptop from my newly installed PC. The problem seems to come from my PC, since other PCs connecting to my laptop work perfectly fine.
While browsing for solutions, I found a simple yet descriptive solution to my problem:
“On Windows XP, by default, you can not logon remotely (e.g. using a Network logon) if your user account does not have a password.”
Yes, it seems that I have to create a password for my account before I attempt to connect to other PCs in the network.
Wow, I’m using Windows this whole time and I didn’t realize this?
