Hi all!

I have a shared drive on a WinXP Professional-based laptop that I am
trying to get access to via Vista. However, when I go to open up the
share, I do not see anything on the drive listed when there are indeed
files and directories on that drive. Just as a related aside, I have
the same issue with another Windows XP Pro machine on my network as well.

Are you logged in with the same username/password on each of the machines?
(It makes things a great deal easier if you are).

Ok not sure what it is you are asking here. No login window has ever
been presented and it's always worked before. Anywho, after making my
original posting, I unshared the disk, then recreated the share for the
disk and things began working again in that all my workstations (the
Linux machines, my Windows XP-based media server, my Vista
Ultimate-based desktop and laptop) all began seeing the problematic
share. Really wierd.
