Help wanted to set up My Shortcuts

[fairview]

I try to set up shortcuts in Net but it's asking for id/password, at first I left both blank and just input the ip which login successful. The next time I turn it on and try to login it's asking me again for id/pw, can anyone please tell me what should I put for net id/pw. workgroup works fine since I did the W7 fix. Thanks

So you can access the machines fine via NET->Workgroup but when accessing the same machines via shortcuts you are asked for a password ?

Yes, workgroup works fine but it ask me to input NET ID/PW under shortcuts but I don't know what to put in

Try leaving it the default realtek_guest and blank password......but be forewarned that you will have had to do registry hack to allow network access with blank passwords for this to work....otherwise you use a username and password that is on the win7 box.

I tried your advice but doesn't work, I don't have any pw on my Win7. Any other suggestion you might think of I can try? Lucky my workgroup works fine.

Which win7 version do you have? Also do you have live essentials installed as the last updates to it broke a lot of the samba compatibility....you can remove it to see if that fixes the problems as well

@scboley, you are awsome!
I uninstalled live essential and it did the trick, logon without id/pw. Works good so far, hopefully it doesn't reset after I turn it off. Appreciated your help!

No luck, was able to logon the first time and its asking for id/pw when I turn it off and back on later...I am going nuts with this...any other advice?
By the way, I am using Win7 home premium 64bit
