Not absolutely neccessary but easier. You have to establish an physical (electrical) connection first. If you are not using a hub/switch/router you wil need a -x-over cable which swaps wire pairs in the cable.

The message means that the username you supplied is not valid, the password you supplied is incorrect, or both. It isn't easy to detemine the problem in this circumstance.

thx for your replies. I can see the other computer in the network from each computer, but Computer A can't access Computer B although Computer B can access Computer A. Is there a way to establish a user on a computer who can get access to that computer over network from within another computer with another login. For example Computer A is logged in as User aa / Computer B is logged in as user bb. User working on Computer A wants to gain access to Computer B bei using the username and password from bb ... Does that work at all ? or how would I usually prepare Computer B to be accessible over the network ?

user accounts which match the user names and passwords used to log onto the other machines. As long as you log onto the 'other' machine with one of these accounts, you should have access. With simple file sharing (this is the default in a workgroup), it doesn't matter because all users authenticate as guest. While there are many possible explanantions for the problem you are having, firewalls/security software settings on Computer B are still the most likely.
