Alrighty here I go...I setup my TC to do disk sharing and also enabled sharing over WAN. My TC's disk works perfect on my MBP, I open finder click on my TC and bam, I have all the storage. When on my windows PC, I go to network, click on TC and it prompts me for credentials "Enter your network password". However, I made sure that my TC disk sharing was setup "with a disk password" and not "user accounts". What credentials could my TC possibly want, I've tried everything. I just want to map this sexy drive on my windows machine and call it an evening. I'd appreciate any help, thanks.
Got a tip for us?

No, you didn't. You said you tried 'everything'.
Anyway, are your Time Capsule and Windows PC on the same Workgroup? In Airport Utility you can specify the name of the Windows workgroup that you want it to join. Make sure this is the same as your PC.
I have my MBP/TC/Windows all joining "WORKGROUP". I can go to network on my Windows machine and connect to my Mac's shared space just fine, vice-versa on my mac.
I turned off my win7 firewall off all together, that didn't do the trick! I don't understand why it won't accept my device password as I have taken the correct steps and reset my router's password to make sure it wasn't incorrect.
...make sure your caps lock is off on your win boxes... yesterday I just setup my AEBS with a simpletech 1 TB EHDD plugged into it with my one iMac and 4 winXP boxes and "it just worked"....with all 5 different passwords I used to setup the SDB AEBS that's in my sig...
I tried that
!!! I even hard reset and tried user accounts instead of Time Capsule password. On my MAC it just WORKS!(either method). I guess that's the majestic reason for owning a Mac "It Just Works". I'm using Windows 7 currently.
