Nework errors -- Looking to map drives between two Vista Premium S
I've run into a very frustrating problem (as if they all aren't...). I have
two Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 desktops that are connected to the same network and workgroup (Private), and I'd like to be able to share files between the two. Ultimately I'd like to map the network drives so that it's fairly seamless between the two. I've been able to create a mapped network drive from machine A to machine B, but have been unable map a drive from machine B to machine A. I'm able to browse the network from machine B and can see machine A (called "Main"), but when I try to connect I get the following error: Windows cannot access \\MAIN Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify the problem, click diagnose. Error code 0x80070005 The spelling is correct -- I've checked numerous times. When i click on diagnose, Windows isn't able to find anything wrong and shoots off a note to the MS team. I've gone through all of the steps possible -- searched the MS site and other areas -- and have covered everything. I've diabled firewalls on both computers and removed AVG on both as well (with my Internet access off, of course). Any recommendations short of a reinstall on machine A?

I would check the permission first. Or this search result may help.

Nework errors -- Looking to map drives between two Vista Premi
Robert, thanks for your interest -- I've followed instructions on permissions
and that's not it. Also, I'm trying to network two Vista Home Premium computers, so I'm not sure that the XP references will address the problem. Any other tips? "Robert L.

Nework errors -- Looking to map drives between two Vista Premi
Robert,
I'm having the same problem as Geoff. Can you tell me just which username you're referring to (and where I can change it). Is it the workgroup name or user account name, or computer name (or none of these)? Thanks, John "Robert L.
