I have got a new Vista laptop and have set up the wireless network fine. I have a desktop PC with XP pro SP3. The desktop is wired to the router (Netgear WGR614v9). I tried connecting from the laptop to the desktop but it is asking for a user name and password. I tried through Vista's network sharing and I also tried from the 'run' command \\***.***.***.*** but again it asked for logon details. I havent set any details like this on either machine. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks
