I have 3 computers running Windows XP and one computer running Vista. The
user names and passwords defined in the server are identical to the user names and passwords at each local computer. When a user logs on to a local computer, they then have access to the server. I have another Vista machine that I am adding to the network. I have defined the user name and password identical to a user name an password defined in the server, but after logging in to the local computer, when trying to access any locations on the server, the window pops up asking for login name and password. After entering the correct login name and password access is granted to the server, and access is then fine until restarting the local computer. What can I do so the new Vista machine will also be logged in to the server once the correct user name and password is entered at the new local machine? From what I can tell, the existing Vista machine is set up as a 32 bit system, and the new Vista machine is set up as a 64 bit system. I don't know why, they came from Dell this way, and I don't know if it matters to this issue. Any help will be appreciated. |

That is normal for home versions of Windows connecting to a server. Ultimate
has the same networking capabilities as Business. -- Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience: Systems Administration http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ "ConeCraft, Inc." wrote in message ...
