server help

So, I'm new to this whole server thing. I tried to access my computers files from another PC by going to network and selecting it, but it needed my password. However, at my school, the server shows up where a USB would, and it isn't password protected. What is going on?

Probably that server at your school have the password stored/remembered, that's why

At school part of the logging on will be mounting a few drives, like my University. Also remembered credentials, so you don't need to enter them again.

It sounds like you need to map the drive.
