Windows Vista file sharing to Windows 2000 problem
I recently purchased a Vista laptop to connect to a wired business network.
All of the machines are running Windows XP except for the server which is running Windows 2000. I can file share with every computer except for the Windows 2000 server. It asks for a user name and password. I have tried guest, which still does not work. The Server is set for "everyone" and no password should be required. All of the machines are on the same workgroup. I cannot figure out why I can connect to XP with Vista but not the 2000 server.

Windows Vista file sharing to Windows 2000 problem
I solved my own problem. I neglected to add the new computers use name as a
user in the Windows 2000 machine. "Dan" wrote: I recently purchased a Vista laptop to connect to a wired business network.
