Hello all! I was hoping for a little bit of help with this problem. I've Googled for the last 45 minutes, tried a bunch of solutions, and searched this very forum, to no avail.
I'm trying to share a folder on my computer (N:\TV, where N is an internal hard disk) on my local area network. Two media centers connect to this folder. Until this week, they connected just fine using no username or password. Suddenly, they want to know a password -- and even entering my Windows credentials (my user account being the only one on the machine), access is denied.
I'm out of ideas. If anyone could offer up a suggestion, it would be fantastic. Thanks!

- I've selected the folder I want to share, and viewed its properties. It's shared with Everyone for reading.
- I can access the folder by opening \\Mycomputer\\TV in Explorer.
- Network discovery is turned off.
- File and printer sharing is turned on.
- Password protected sharing is turned off.
- All three machines are in the same workgroup.
I'm out of ideas. If anyone could offer up a suggestion, it would be fantastic. Thanks!
