Network Help

Overnight the two office computers have stopped talking to each other.
My computer can see the other in the network list, but now it's asking for a username and password, something which I've never known or had to use before.
There's no pending updates or anything that I can see need to be applied and obviously I've turned it off and on again but to no avail.

Is there a workaround for this?

Ta!

Do both computers ask for a username and password to connect to the other or is it just one way?

You could try this
Go to Control Panel > Network and sharing center > Change advanced sharing settings > Enable Turn Off password protect sharing option on both PCs
I'm not sure why it's only just started asking for a password unless it asked for a password when it was first set up and it has now forgotten the password
