How do you login to that workgroup PC?

If you are prompted from a login while connection from another PC, try using machinename\username as the login and then whatever your password is to connect. If you don't have a password set, that may cause a problem.

ASKER

when I browse to the share from my domain connected computer
run -> ipaddress\share  

it then prompts for username and password
I input    hostname\localusername
                pwd

and then I have access to it

I would like it to give access to its files to anyone without prompting for credentials
