Networking
Hello
I've searched for an answer on this but can't find anything.
I have a 2 PC network, both wired into a ADSL router.
I can see PC1 and PC2 (on both PCs) in the workgroup.
When I click on the other PC it asks me for a password?
I haven't set any passwords up!
All I need to do is send files between PCs without having to save to USB drive and stick in other PC, etc...
Any help would be appreciated.

You don't mention what operating systems the two machines are using, so I'll assume Windows.
Networks don't like access from accounts which don't have passwords, for fairly obvious reasons. So, do this:
1) Make sure both machines have the same user account with the same password, and log on with that.
2) Make sure both machines participate in the same workgroup, or homegroup if you're using Windows 7
3) Make sure file sharing is enabled on both machines
