I've met a rather annoying problem that should be very simple, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a work laptop that is part of a domain, so my username is foobar\bob
. I also have my home computer with no domain, just the username bob
. I'm trying to connect to a share on my home computer from my work computer. It's asking me for my username and password, which is bob
, but when I type in bob
it assumes I mean foobar\bob
, which of course doesn't work. I've tried to use hostname\bob
, but that doesn't seem to work either...
What can I do here?
Both computers are running Windows 7.
