Well I finally got some of the folder sharing to work.. but its not quite the way I wanted it. In Windows 8.1, when you set up a HOMEGROUP and share a folder, it provides a password to access the folders.. The problem is, when you try to access the shared folder from another computer on the home network, a box pops up asking for a username and password. Huh? I'm just assuming the password is the one that was assigned when homegroup was set up, but what username??? A username was never provided. Can someone enlighten me on this username?
