Help getting file access on my network
(I posted this earlier on Vista,administration.accounts.passwords before I
learned of this newsgroup.) I am setting up a new Vista Home Ultimate computer. It is networked with a XP Pro and Windows Media Edition machines. They are all in the same Workgroup. The XP and WME have full access to each others files over the network. For the life of me, I have not figured out how to give them access to the VISTA and visa versa. I can "see" all of the machines from each machine. I understand that I can not move the "Public" file directory to another drive. I have too many large files to put on my system drive. I have tried to set the shares on all of my directories and drives to share ... but that has made no difference. I have been doing this as the administrator.. I would like to block access to computers that are not members of my workkgroup Any suggestions, preferably in step by step directions? Thanks Dunc

Help getting file access on my network
Robert,
I feel like this is a dumb question.... but how do I run it? I inserted "net use \\vistaip" in the "run" command line and got what appeared to be a DOS box, a message flashed on and the box disappeared. Dunc "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote in message ...

Dunc, you need to run from the command line. Open the Command Prompt and type "net use \\vistaip" (without quotes), press ENTER.

"vistaip" is your vista computer IP address, for example, if the IP is 192.168.1.2, do net use \\192.168.1.2. To find the ip, use ipconfig command.
