Network of two computers, a desktop running vista home premium and a laptop
running vista basic. I am the only user on each of the computers, my user account name is the same on both computers and I don't need a password to log on. File sharing is 'on', password protected sharing is 'off', and I have shared the 'documents' folder on both machines When I view my network I see both computers "PAUL-PC" and PAUL-LAPTOP", when I select the one I'm not working on I see "Users", "Documents" and "Printers". When I select "Documents" I see "\\PAUL-LAPTOP\Documents is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource....... etc." Same result from either computer. -- Paul Kaye

Vista may not allow you access remotely without a password. Assign the same
password to the username and try it assign. Please post back with the result. Or you may want to check this post. Why do I need passwordVista actually requires a password for file and printer sharing. It's not optional, even if you have password-protected sharing off.

As Robert posted, you should use a password. Vista can be finicky on this without one. See if this can help you. Look at any related link that you thing can help you to. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/12...ng-enable.html Shawn -- Brink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*Vista Forums*' (http://www.vistax64.com/index.php?referrerid=2980) *Please post feedback to help others.*

Good job. Establishing the same password on both computers did it.
Thanks.... -- Paul Kaye "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: Vista may not allow you access remotely without a password. Assign the same password to the username and try it assign.
