I have two Vista machines, a desktop and a laptop. both in the same
workgroup I have enabled Network Discovery, File Sharing, Printer Sharing and Password Protected sharing on both machines. (I have also tried with the firewall turned off) The problem is that I can only access shares on the notebook from the desktop Desktop - Notebook - shared folder works Notebook - Desktop - continuously prompts for a password. I am logged on to both machines as an administrator with the same user name. Any ideas how to get this working both way please ?

Turn off Password Protected sharing, or create the same user account name(and
a password) on both computers. You don't have to use it, it just has to be there. -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "Michael Tissington" wrote: I have two Vista machines, a desktop and a laptop. both in the same workgroup I have enabled Network Discovery, File Sharing, Printer Sharing and Password Protected sharing on both machines.

You need to check what you are running to make sure two firewalls aren't active. If you are using any third-party firewall at all, you need to configure it to allow the LAN as trusted. Double-check on the machine you can't access. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic!
