Backing Up to Network Drive?

I have a 1 TB external hard drive connected to my network. I would like
to back up my laptop and setup automatic backup on a weekly basis to
this drive like I have done with my desktop. However, the damned thing
keeps asking me for a username and password that I did NOT set up on the
computer that has the hard drive connected directly into it. When I use
my Windows username and password for the computer the drive is connected
to, it tells me it is invalid. So what, exactly, is the password if that
isn't it?

I have password protection turned OFF on my network, so it shouldn't
even ask me for one.

Possibly Administrator password.
Can you actually see this drive on the network?

Yes I can, in fact all my externals are accessible from every computer
on the network.

My admin password would be the password for my windows, and that isn't
working.
