Login error message when starting 2nd machine
This is a discussion about Login error message when starting 2nd machine in the Windows Networking category; I know this is a basic network question, but when I start my 2nd machine I get a the drive or network connection is unavailable message refering to a shortcut on the desktop to my 1st machine. It doesn't do it on the first machine.
I know this is a basic network question, but when I start my 2nd machine I get a "the drive or network connection is unavailable" message refering to a shortcut on the desktop to my 1st machine. It doesn't do it on the first machine. On both machines I can access the other computer ok, but I have to type the username and password each time I start the machines.
Both machines have passwords and are using administartor as the user.
How can I eliminate the username & password each time I power up?
