Dear Experts

I have got my work laptop (windows 7) that was configured to access a domain work.

When I log in to my laptop the username that was assigned to me is like that : country\d50001122,,,,,,,,made it up and password is : forum

Carrying two laptops one for work and one your private use is not workable,,,,,sometime I do my personal work (downloading file , doing my time sheet , saving some useful article ,,,etc)

When I am at home I want to backup my work from the laptop to a network drive on my home desktop computer (called storage1).

On my desktop computer I tried to create a username d50001122 ( I removed the country with slash) and with same domain password.

Then I enabled the sharing and the security on my home drive.

I tried from my laptop to access that drive but error message pops us :

You do not have permission to access \\homedesktop\storage1. Contact your network administrator to request access

Did i miss something ? is that error because of user is a domain user ?
 
A little confused on the issue...are you trying to login to your work computer (which is domain bound) and access a network share that you have on your home desktop?

I believe what's happening is when it goes to authenticate, the user you're entering is being authenticated as DOMAIN\username, where as it should be HOMEDESKTOPNAME\username.

Example:

Home Desktop computer name = zillah-pc
username = d50001122

When you connect to the network share from your work computer, it should prompt for a username. you need to enter zillah-pc\d50001122. If you just type in "d50001122" as the user name, it tries to authenticate against the domain, which is why it is failing, I believe.

Thanks jnick , good idea let me try that.
but since initially I had entered the wrong username,,,,how can I let this window
(credential window) to pop up again to enter username and password again ?
 
Why not just Map the network share and check 'use alternate credentials'?
Am I missing something here?
 
"laptop to a network drive on my home desktop computer (called storage1)."

Is the home PC named "Storage1" or "HomeDesktop"

whats the name of the share on the home desktop

Shared folder called : storage1
PC ( home computer ) called : HomeDesktop
 
Do you have share AND file permissions set for the folder? Have you talked to your Enterprise Admin at work?
