How does the LAN plugin work ?
Posted: 2013-02-04, 18:23 UTC
I have a wireless network with a windows 8 PC I want to connect to. I switch on wifi and I make a new server in the LAN plugin.
I give it a name and then I fill in in the next screen:
Server name: ACER-PC (the name of the PC)
Username: the name of a user on this PC
Password: the password of that user
Whats the function of the mainpassword ? When I don't use it I can not connect to the PC. When I fill in the password of the user it connects.
But when it connects I see some folders namely:
ADMIN$
C$
D$
print$
Users
When I switch to ADMIN$, C$ or D$ I get the message: incorrect username or password. I can however switch to print$ an Users. In Users I can see every user and al the directories and files underneath it (no security ?).
I want to go to the D$ drive. What is going wrong. Do I have to make some changes on the PC ? I don't understand how this is working and I can't find any more information on it. Can anyone clarify this to me ?
Thanks in advance.
