How can I get my 5 computers (3 on XP sp3, and 2 on (same as above)
so that I can access files, via my home wireless network, freely using
windows explorer like i can between my XP computers?
Currently I have to logon with a user name and password ( I think I got
passed this..)
but now, for example, when I can see "documents" listed for the computer
I
am trying to access and I click on it, It tells me I can't and suggests
something about permissions, which I've checked and to my knowledge it
looks
like the permissions for "documents" is set to full control.....

Anyway...
i just read something suggesting Live One Care may be the problem...
but I can't imagine that's all of it...

Anybody as anti-security as I am?

Default Vista Security is Killing Me

Have a read of the info below:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb727037.aspx

Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing.

Permissions/Share info is there as well.

If using Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro I.S., make sure file and printer
sharing is enabled in THEIR firewall (or LAN allowed, depending on how their
Exceptions are worded in their Firewall)

1st thing to do is make sure that the Workgroup Name of ALL the computers is
the SAME.

In Vista Network and Sharing:

Network Discovery: ON (So it can see the other computers)

Network set to Private (Public is for hotspots, airports, etc)

File Sharing: ON

Public Folder Sharing: ON (Vista’s Public Folder is the same as XP’s Shared
Docs)

Password Protected: OFF (unless you want to set up identical usernames and
passwords on ALL computers in your Network) If you have it ON, and no
identical usernames/passwords, you will be asked for a username and password
when you try to access a Vista computer from an XP computer, or a Vista
computer.

Also, run the XP’s Home or Small Office Network File and Printer Sharing
Wizard, even if you had an XP Network set up prior to adding a Vista computer
to it(redoing the Wizard seems to work for XP machines!).

In “My Network Places”: “Set up a Home or Small Office Network”
OR under Accessories Communications Network Setup Wizard Allow File
and Printer Sharing.
