    hi

    i have a wired network with 3 pcs and an xbox connected to a eircom dsl router

    all the pcs logon automatically as administrator

    one of the pcs has shared folders which can be accessed from other pcs and xbox-there is no password for shared folders and files can be changed/deleted etc.

    i'm having trouble creating disk image files in the shared folder across the network

    i've tried a couple of boot cds like clonezilla and redobackup which should work but i can't access the share from the other pcs

    i can usually see the shared folders but it's requesting a username and password?

    any help appreciated thanks

    It's not that clear what you are doing here - are you booting the PC with the shared folder from some kind of boot CD?

    Please specify exactly how you are creating the disk image files.

    What happens if you provide a username and password?

    Or if you put in no username or no password?

    As a temporary measure you could create a user with a password and share a folder out for that user ...
