Network computer not accessible
I have two computers on a wireless home network, both running Vista, named
"Desktop" and "Tablet". I want to be able to transfer and modify files between computers with Password Protected Sharing enabled. Right now it only works in one direction. When attempting to open "Desktop" from the network menu on "Tablet", I get the following error, "DESKTOP is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource...etc." Both computers are in the identical workgroup. Both computers have identical user account names and passwords. I have shared the identical Documents folder on each by right-click, Share, Advancing Sharing, Share this folder. Sharing and Discovery options enabled on both a -Network Discovery -File Sharing -Password Protected Sharing I can access "Tablet" from "Desktop" while Password Protected Sharing is enabled, but not the other way around. When I turn off Password Protected Sharing at "Desktop", I can access the shared folder on "Desktop" from "Tablet." Disabling my 3rd party firewall has no effect in any scenario. How else can I troubleshoot this problem?

For troubleshooting, start the OS with clean boot. Can you access each
other?

Robert,
Thank you for your reply. When starting "Desktop" in safe mode with networking, I receive the following error when trying to connect to it from "Tablet": DESKTOP is not set up to establish a connection on port "File and Printer Sharing (SMB)" with this computer. On "Desktop", if I open Networking from the start menu, I don't see any devices. With a normal startup I see my router, "Desktop" itself, and "Tablet." "Robert L.

Additionally:
When starting the OS with a clean boot as described, there are no changes to the original situation. Can still access Tablet, but Tablet still receives the same error message when attempting to log on to Desktop. "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: For troubleshooting, start the OS with clean boot.

The net share command completes successfully on both computers with normal
Vista startup. "Robert L.
