Default Network Share Vista/XP

For months I was able to drop a XP machine onto the network and access a
shared drive on my Vista machine without having to log the XP machines in
with my username and password, now I am unable to do it, keeps saying
\\Server\D is not accessible
I have formatted the computers and tried everything but still no go.

Any idea's?

Default Network Share Vista/XP

In the XP command, run this command: net share. Then ipconfig command to
find XP ip address. In Vista command, run this command: net view
\\xpipaddress. Post all results here.

From the net share command, we can see the D drive doesn't enable sharing so
that you receive "\\Server\D is not accessible".

Default Network Share Vista/XP

I can access the D drive on the Vista pc if I create an account on the XP
machine that is the same on the vista machine then logon, but I never had to
do that before and I am beginning to think it is either a Vista SP-1 problem
or a microsoft update after SP-1.
I guess I could turn back on the password protected sharing on the vista
machine and enter a username and password everytime I access the D drive but
now that doesn't work, I'm still getting \\Server\D is not accessible
I do alot of computer repairs and drop the customers xp pc on the network
then access \\Server\D for files etc to install, so I don't want to start
creating user accounts on their machines so I can access \\Server\D
