I've been following this guide:
http://www.ehow.com/how_4750653_files-pc-mac-using-ethernet.html
Everything is set up as specified. At step 6 the window pops up, but a login dialog also pops up. No combination of my usernames or passwords for the windows machine or the mac work.
If I simply try to connect through Startbutton>Network>[macdefaultname]
the login dialog pops up. I've tried other guides and changing some permissions on both machines, but nothing seems to rid me of this login dialog.
Can anyone explain what is going on?
[EDIT]
Okay, I'm in. I started trying all the combinations of usernames I've ever used along with passwords. Eventually it let me in.
However, I'd still like to know why the dialog appeared.
