I have a wireless network consisting of 4 computers :
A Main Computer Desktop Windows Vista HP (connected to router via cable) B Desktop Windows Vista HP Wireless C Desktop Windows XP Wireless D Notebook Windows Vista Ultimate Wireless I had a network running successfully on these computers; however I had to replace Computer B with a computer also running Vista HP. I connected the new one to the network and although the other computers can see Computer B, they cannot access any files from them; also, Computer B can see the other computers on the network but cannot aces their files. The message says "C" is available but the user account that you are logged on with was denied access....Make sure you typed the path correctly and you have permission to access the shared folder. Howeber the shared printers work OK and Internet acces is avialble on al computers. The user account and password on all four computers are the same, as are the settings in the Network & Sharing Centre. Please help. Thank you. |

No, only Windows firewall, which I have not modified.

I just realised that when I got the new computer the computer shop had given
it my first name. I renamed it to 'Office' in the Control Panel. Should this name be changed in the Registry as well? If so, how do I do that? Thanks "Robert L.

Hi
On each Vista computer log to control Panel/System. In the center of the system screen you would see the Network http://www.ezlan.net/vista/vs-sys.jpg Make the same on all computers (if needed click on Change). In Win XP right click on the My computer Icon and choose properties the Network credentials are in one of the tabs. http://www.ezlan.net/network/net-name.jpg When this is done. Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.

I have gone through and tried all the suggestions to no avail.
When I set up the network originally, before I got the new desktop, I was running Vista, without SP1. When I later upgraded to SP1, the network was not affected. However, the new computer came with SP1. Would there be some kind of security setting that needs to be addressed? I realise I don't know much about it and may be clutching at straws, but am becoming very frustrated with this.
