Vista Sharing with older versions of Windows
I have a peer-to-peer network that has 1 Vista Home Premium, 1 XP
Professional, and one Windows Me machine. I know that Windows Me is no longer supported by Microsoft, but I MUST have a machine that run a particular piece of DOS software, and it only runs fully on Windows 9x. (NT-based O/Ses don't understand its MIDI device calls.) Vista doesn't run it natively at all. (No full-screen DOS sessions.) This software is crucial the everyday running of my business. (A windows version has been promised since 1994, but it hasn't appeared yet.) I would like to upgrade the XP machine to Vista, but I can't get the Me machine to see the Vista machine that's already there. I use XP to serve files to the Me machine so having communication both ways is absolutely necessary. The Vista machine will read the Me machine, but when I try to get the Me machine to see the Vista machine, I get asked for a password, and no matter what I try, the connection is refused. The Vista machine has the password protected sharing turned OFF, so it shouldn't be asking for a password anyway. I have no problems reading the Vista machine from the XP one. I need to sort this out or I can't upgrade. Any ideas?

All three already have the same user name and passwords.
