Hi

I have an Ultimate PC private networked to a Home Premium with "Password
connected sharing
turned off, all other shares are on, except Media.

I can see each PC and their hard drives on both but when I try to connect I
am told
that the user account I am logged on as is denied access.

Where do I go and how do I allow access to the user on the PC's?

thanks

Daniel

Hi
Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local
traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should
be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers
on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party
Firewall instructions.

Hi

I'm don't know what I am missing but as far as
I can tell the Windows Firewall is configured correctly,
it show the Network as Private and in Network Sharing Centre
it says that turning Password Protected sharing off automatically
changes the firewall settings.

When I try to give access to users the only one I can see on each PC is the
local user, there are no users for the other PC shown.

I am totally lost, it was so much easier in XP.

cheers

Daniel

I think, you need to create an identical account on the machine you want to
access shares.

If I'm logged on "Computer A" as "User 1" and want to access shares on
"Computer B", I need to create user account "User 1" on "Computer B".

Okay, how do I do that?

I have only one user on each PC?

Are they identical?


"Computer A"
Username "Bob"
Password "password"

"Computer B"
Username "Bob"
Password "password"
