Hi
If you have A Cable/DSL Router and the two computers are plugged in to it you already have a network and it is a matter of configuring File Sharing on each computer. Maybe this can Help, 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. General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted Vista File and Printer Sharing- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb727037.aspx Windows XP File Sharing - http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304040 http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304040 Printer Sharing XP - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...utt_july2.mspx Windows Native Firewall setting for Sharing XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875357 Windows XP patch for Sharing with Vista (Not need for XP-SP3) - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120 Jack (MVP-Networking).

If security isn't an issue, turn off Password Proteted Sharing in Network and Sharing Center. OR - create a matching user account (name and password) on each machine. -- "simshadow" wrote in message ... hi there. i have 2 pc both running vista 68x im getting my internet via 2 lan cables and i want to be able to acces something from pc A on pc B, but when i go and click on my other pc in the network settings it askes for a username and password... but i havnt set any on either on them.. what must i do? -- simshadow ------------------------------------------------------------------------ simshadow's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/149007.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...rk/1263475.htm http://forums.techarena.in

can't acces my other computer
What if I don't have a "Password Protected Sharing" option? I have two
computers one has Vista home and the other is a work computer that syncs with our server and has Vista Ultimate. The VU machine dosn't even have Password protected sharing in the menu. I can share one way....the work computer can access Vista home but I can't access Vista Ultimate. It asks for user and password info and nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated. -- ScottW Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

I suspect this is why you don't see a "Password Protected Sharing" option. You might be able to create a separate local user account and use that for sharing, but if this is an employer provided computer there are often policy restrictions that would preclude that.
