[CUBE] How do I set up Local Network password?

[Davz]

jj,

I do a lot of networking with Macs so I know most of the ins and outs 
of setting a system up, so hopefully I can help.

When you 'connect to server' (command K) do you get a pane with another 
machine listed and have the option of password or guest connection?  If 
so this is a good start.

Click password connect you should then get a prompt for password and 
username.    Make sure that the connecting machine has a name and that 
the machine you are connecting to has a name and that both machines 
have a password set up ( probably easier if they have the same 
password)

In the username pane, type in the name of the machine YOU ARE 
ON.................... NOT the machine you are connecting to (This is 
where I think you may be going wrong.) type in the password for the 
machine you are connecting to and you should connect.

What you are doing is identifying who you are by typing your own 
machines name and then authenticating with the password, and as i said 
I would use the same password for both machines especially if this is a 
home set up, if it is at work you may need to use separate passwords.
