Problem:  A computer on your home network can be seen on a remote computer on the same network but is requiring a log-in to access the files (and, possibly, even with accurate log-in, you still cannot access the files on the remote computer).

Solution:  First, make certain that both computers are using the same user name and password.

Second, ensure that Simple File Sharing is not enabled on the remote computer.  To do so, do the following:

a.  Open Windows File Explorer by right clicking on the Start button and selecting Explore.

b.  On the menu bar, select Tools and Folder Options.

c.  Click on the View tab.

d.  On Advanced Settings, scroll to the bottom and make certain that Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended) is un-checked.

e.  Click OK

This should solve the problem.
