Getting Vista and XPH to cooperate?
First, let me point you to the Technet site for Vista File Sharing..

The D: is large enough to do what I need it is just that I am getting a \\VISTA is not accessible error message when I try to double click on it in the workgroup area. I can ping each way and there is an account on each computer that is the same name with no password. I am not even getting a logon screen when I double click the vista machine.

Getting Vista and XPH to cooperate?
Hi all,
I am just starting the process of setting up two machines one vista and the other xph. So far I have no luck in getting the two to share. I would like the xph machine to use the D: drive on the vista machine to hold all of my songs and other stuff temporarily while I reinstall xph from scratch after which would like to copy all the files back to the xph machine. The D: is large enough to do what I need it is just that I am getting a \\VISTA is not accessible error message when I try to double click on it in the workgroup area. I can ping each way and there is an account on each computer that is the same name with no password. I am not even getting a logon screen when I double click the vista machine. How do I fix this? thanks, charles.... |

Getting Vista and XPH to cooperate?
Good reference but is there an "easy" way to share the D:
drive with no password checking and everyone can see and modify it? like a big scratch pad area for everyone? thanks.... "Fatal_Exception" wrote in message ...
