Network password troubles

When google fails me, Massassi is my only hope.

Here's the situation. I've been using my housemate's ethernet cable to connect to the router all summer. For some reason that's the only way I could play games with my other housemate over the network. Anyway, everybody is moved in again for the year, so I had to relinquish the cable. When I switched back to wireless, nobody could access my shared folders anymore. A username and password prompt comes up, even though nothing on my computer is password protected.

Thoughts?

Thanks, Yecti! My housemates are all currently passed out from last night's festivities, but I'll give it a try soon enough.

Oh, I'm running XP, Wolfy. I haven't seen many share settings, beyond the two checkboxes to share the folder and allow users to change my files.
