you are prompted for username and password in a workgroup network

you are prompted for username and password in a workgroup network

windows xp pro as workgroup file server,

w7 pro as client

when I do \\192.168.1.10

I got prompts asking for username/password

eventually find out the clocks are wrong, one hour apart on the workgroup server (need some timezone update after law change?)

the w7 pro date/time is wrong because the owner changed it . he said his LOB software FREEDOM got a bug, so he rolled the clock back.

It is interesting that clock does matter even if its a workgroup enviroment.
