I seem to remember something along these lines too... have a strong feeling it was related to the samba passwords.
There is (i think - you may have to take it with a pinch of salt, my networking is not good) there is a samba setup app or config file setting the passwords. If you set this, it allows you access. Doesn't explain why they worked in the first place though...?:| > Sorry if I seem a bit dim, but I am getting on a bit. > > I've recently installed broadband using a desktop PC and a laptop which > are wirelessly connected connected to my router.
