I can't get my network share to ask for a password when I
try to access it from the network. I get "access denied"
when I should get a pop-up asking for username and
password. If I add "everyone" in share permissions it
works just fine, but I don't want everyone to access it.
I want to get a pop-up asking for authentication.
This has worked in the past and I don't think I've done
anything differently this time so what am I doing wrong?
 
Try setting up local users and locking down the fileshare
with that. Then the authentication attempts to be
performed based on the user credentials on the other PC.
 
Yes, sorry I failed to mention that part.
That's exactly what I'm doing. I have set a local user
account to have read permissons on the share, but still
it says access denied when it should ask for username and
password.
 
I found the mention to solve that problem
Enable guest account first
After
Running mmc at command line
When you are in Console windows
File - Add/Remove snap-in - Add - Local Computer Policy.
Find the branch
Console Root\Local computer Policy\computer Configuration \ Windows
setting\Security Setting\Local polices\User right assignment.
Remove guest account assign from there.

good luck
