Default password popup winxp-winxp local connection?



When I try to access my new laptops shared docs folder I get a standard
windows password popup box why?
When I enter the passwords for the users on the laptop I get rejected.
When I connect from the laptop to the desktop I do not get this problem.

Any suggestions?

Cheers
Chris

Thanks Ian,
I was feeling stupid I checked that file sharing was installed but forgot to
check that the folder was shared.
Windows does not share the shared docs folder on the network by default.

Try using \computername\locallacount to get in rather then just the
username.

Thanks.
