Why won't they share?
Hello,
The situation is that one computer has Windows 2000 and one has Windows Vista. They can share the internet and can supposedly see each other but there is no file sharing. Is it simply because they have such different OS or is this something else?

Although obviously both machines run different operating systems, this is not the reason your file/printer sharing isn't working. You've done something incorrectly. Create identical user accounts and passwords on both machines. Make sure both machines are in the same Workgroup. Make sure all firewalls are configured to allow the local area network as trusted.
