Hi everybody,

I have a smal soho network consisting of a netgear router, a brand new PC
équipped with Vista Ultimate (let's call it Vista PC), and another PC using
XP SP 3 (XP PC).

Tha mapping of the network, as seen on the Vista PC, is OK.

From that Vista PC I can access the XP files with no problem.

However, from the XP PC I cannot access the Vista files. I can see the
structure of folders, but whenever I try to open a folder I get an error
message indicating something like "access denied. You may not have the
authorization...".

Now, as far as I know, I did what was necessary as regards sharing files on
the Vista PC. The password protection is not activated.

I just don't know what to do.

Any clue Anyone?

Many thanks in advance for your kind help.

With best regards,
Daniel
