[solved] Lan plugin, can only access c:\User

Hello,
Thanks for the android port.
Using the Lan manager I can see all my drives:
C$
D
etc

but I always get 'Error connecting to server, Logon Failure unknown user name or bad password'.

However I can read and write to Users (which is c:\users) with the plugin fine.

Did I overlook something?
Android 2.1

Thanks for help.

Edit: manually adding 'Everyone' to the users permitted to access the drive fixed it for me.

What Windows version do you use? For the "home" versions, you need to use user guest and empty password. You may not be able to access the admin shares ($ at end) except with user+password of a user with admin rights.

Hi Christian,

Win 7 x64.
It is solved. I had edited my post above. I had to manually add 'Everyone' to the permissions.
