Sharing from Vista ultimate to xp on a laptop
I have a desktop PC running Vista Ultimate Ed, and I hooked up a Western
Digital 250gb external usb hard drive. I am trying to get it to where I can save from my laptop running xp to that drive as well. When I check the permissions, the option of adding my laptop's user isn't even an option. What can I do to give my laptop open access to the drive? Thanks in Advance, Gavin

If you disabled Password Protected Sharing (PPS) then you can simply enable Guest. If you enabled PPS, then you have to setup identical accounts, with non-blank password, on both computers. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/file-sharing-under-windows-xp.html#Help http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...s-xp.html#Help -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
