Hello all,

My office consists of a small workgroup network of 22 systems.
I installed a printer with USB port on one system and shared it as HPLaserJ.
I'm connecting to printer from other systems by
start|run|\\192.168.0.140\HPLaserJ\
Then it is Showing a small window with title ConnectAs for the username and
password to connect.

i dont want to type the password and username everytime how to disable this.

Our network id protected with Norton INternet Security as well as ZoneAlarm.

Please help me out in this problem,
thanking you,
kiran
 
A possible solution:

In a logon script, or the user's Start Menu\Programs\Startup Folder use the
command

net use \\192.168.0.140\IPC$ password /user:username

Use the username and password of user account know on 192.168.0.140 that is
permitted to use the printer.
 
If you don't use a logon script, then you will have to setup a user on each
PC that connects to that printer that has the same name and password as the
PC that is sharing the printer.
 
Using a logon script is certainly one solution, but an alternative is to put
the command I suggested into the Startup folder of the user that needs to
connect to the printer. We use this technique for consultants that bring
their own computer and need to print on network printers.

This avoids the need to create a user account on the computer (that wants to
use the network printer) that is known on the computer that has the printer.

The command will establish an authenticated connection to the computer with
the printer using the user account included in the command instead of using
the credentials of the currently logged on user.
