Dear Tech person,
Although I have worked on Windows laptops & desktop for over 20 years I am very new to networking and the use of servers. I am using an Acer Easy Store H341 running Windows Home Server with Power pack 3. So this is my problem - Last week
I installed WHS and attached a laptop running Vista Professional & a desktop running windows 7. Installation went off without a hitch. However, I keep on getting error messages about how my password is wrong. I've gone to the extent
of reinstalling the WHS 4 times and doing a hard reboot for my computer as well as the server, each time entering my new password (which in reality is my old one that I entered in the 1st place) but it still does not recognize it. I don't understand
why it accepts it for the Console and not for when I want to see the files on the server, I have made all the passwords the same on all the computers/server as they suggested. I can get into the WHS console with my password. However, when I go
into explorer (Start,right click & choose Explore) and I choose the server icon under network so as to be able to see the files that are on the server or another computer, I then get a box asking for Logon Name and password. I proceed to do that
but it says password and/or logon name are wrong. I have checked them and I am certain they are NOT. I don't have caps lock on and the other usual things I've been reading about.
The good news is that from the console I can see that for both of my computers the back ups to the server are being made automatically.
I welcome any suggestions for this frustrating problem.
Sincerely,
Bill Bloom
