I'm trying to use a crossover cable to transfer files from one Vista PC to another Vista PC. According to this article:
How to Build a Local Area Network Without a Router
"If you are using default accounts like Administrator on both machines, make sure both accounts have the same password. You can set the password by hitting Control + Alt + Delete and clicking on Change password. You can change it on that form. Then go ahead and try to connect again and this time, it should connect.".
My data transfer was halted by an error message stating that I did not have the appropriate authority and privilege (even though I was logged on as an administrator!?!) to do so.
Therefore, my question is: How can I check that both of my PC Admin accounts are using the same password (since the password does not display) ? Or better yet, is there a hassle-free way to perform the transfer using a crossover cable?
Thanks,
Dan
