I have four computers in a work group configuration, one running Win XP Home,
one Win 2000, one Server 2000 and one Vista Business. The Vista computer sees the other three and can access them as administrator, but I cannot access the Vista computer or the printers connected to it from any of the other three. The Vista machine has all but “Password protected sharing” set to “On” in the “Network and Sharing Center” and “Share Permissions Group: Everyone” has “Allow” checked on all three options. The properties “Sharing” tab shows the “C:\” drive as “Shared”. No access with firewall turned on or off. What did I miss? Jim |

Have you also checked the 'security' tab?
