Home networking - new Vista PC with an older PC running Windows XP
Perhaps someone could help this neophyte with a home network problem. After
setting up home networking on both PCs, the XP machine seems to have full networking access. I can see files on my Vista machine and I can print to a printer connected to my Vista machine. On my Vista PC, I can see the XP computer, but I keep getting error messages when attempting to access the shared files on the XP computer. The edit basically says that I don't have the necessary permissions to access the XP machine. I'm an administrator on both PCs, the network names are the same and the XP machine now runs webBios over TCP/IP. Still didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks -- rainman

Thanks Create identical user accounts and passwords on both machines.
