I cannot whatever i do access c:\ on vista comp,I have enabled file sharing
and vista confirms that its shared but no access allowed from XP computer Now for the wierd part D:\ has no problem full access given same settings, go figure. I can access all drives and files on all computers on the network from the vista computer Is their something I have missed as i'm no newbie, I have a wireless network for 4 computers using XPPro and never come across something like this. Nothing to do with firewalls as I would not be able to access D Drive. Hope someone has got an answer Thx |

You'll need to right-click the drive you're sharing, choose Properties, go
to the Security tab, and permit Everyone access to this drive. This isn't recommended on the system drive, which is why the Sharing wizard doesn't do it automatically.
