Hello All and forgive me if this question has come up before. My setup includes a WHS 2011 and two client pcs both running Win 7 Ult x64. All are joined to a homegroup. On the WHS, all folders are set to "read/write" access for members of my homegroup. When I attempt to browse to a shared folder on my server from one of the client pcs it prompts me to enter a network password. Now I may be mistaken, but should it prompt me for credentials if all the pcs are in the same homegroup? I can enter the user name and password as "SERVERNAME\ADMINISTRATOR and PASSWORD" and it will allow me access to the folder shares but I don't want to do this every time. I certainly don't want my wife to do this when accessing the shares on her laptop.
I've looked over the server options for folder shares and all seems to be set up correct. I've looked over homegroup settings and all that seems to be set up correct. I've actually shared a folder out from my desktop before and never had this issue with browsing to it from a homegroup pc. I've searched other forums for answers and already made sure the time was set correct on all my machines. Unless I'm failing to understand the default WHS 2011 server folders and homegroup sharing I don't know what is causing this. Please help!
