May I know what is the Username and password for my PC?Is it the same with my account name when I log in into my PC? Image below for reference.

Yes, It is normally the password and login of the computer you are logging into(remote computer).

Please note sometimes when you share folders, you should adjust the permissions to include your account instead of just users or administrator.

Just tried it. still cannot. it says logon failed: unknown user name or bad password. any idea?

 

[nukemaster]

That is strange. I always login to my other systems.

Try to share a folder with the permissions set to your account(you just add the account you are trying to login with).

While this is Windows 10, it works the same on 7.
I just did a connection(as a network drive)

Do I need to turn on public folder sharing?

 

[nukemaster]

I have the following settings.

Profile - Work Network
Network Discovery - ON
File and Print Sharing - ON
Public Sharing - ON (I am going to turn this off to see if it does anything. I have nothing in public folders)
Media Steaming - OFF
128-bit encryption - ON
Password Protected Sharing - ON
Homegroup connections - Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections (recommended). I do not use homegroups.

On the connecting computer

Profile - Home Network.
Network Discovery - ON
File and Print Sharing - ON
Public Sharing - OFF
Media Steaming - OFF
128-bit encryption - ON
Password Protected Sharing - ON
Homegroup connections - Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections (recommended). I do not use homegroups.

I still have a feeling it may be a permission issue.

You should ADD your username to the folder on both the NTFS permissions and the share permissions.
