I am running Vista Home Premium on all 3 computers. They are all my network
at home with the same workgroup name. All 3 are able to connect to the
internet through a wireless router. My desktop is hard wired while my 2
laptops are wireless. My problem is that one of the laptops will not access
files on the other 2 computers nor will it allow the other 2 access to it's
shared folders. I have made sure that all the folders have full permissions
on them. Also, I have turned off password protected sharing on all 3
computers, but the 2 that will allow file sharing still force me to type in a
user name and password (which is my logon to each computer) before I am
allowed to. I am severely confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hi there. Can the computers all see each other? If not, make sure Network
Discovery is on for all of them (in Network and Sharing Center). Also make
sure File Sharing is on for all of them.

You might need to have duplicate user accounts and passwords on all the
computers in order to stop that prompting, too.

Thanks,
Gloria

All the computers can see each other. Just the one will not access or allow
access. File sharing is on along with network discovery. I will try the
duplicate accounts and see where that takes me.
