I created a network between my Vista and XP machines. The Vista machine is
password protected. The XP is not. I was able to access the Vista PC from the XP machine because I entered the correct username and passowrd when prompted. But I cannot access the XP machine from the Vista PC because it wants me to enter a password that I don't have. If I leave the password field blank, it does not connect. Any suggestions?

You could also just create an account on the XP machine with the same
name/password as is used to login to the Vista machine. :-) On Wed, 04 Jul 2007 22:19:50 -0700, "Chuck [MVP]" wrote: On Wed, 4 Jul 2007 21:12:01 -0700, Network_Blues wrote: I created a network between my Vista and XP machines.

Since the OP said "The XP is not.", I'm guessing that it's that way intentionally (maybe XP Home?). It would be so kewl if every problem report included complete details about the LAN. But they don't, so we guess. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/background-information-useful-in.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...useful-in.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP 2005-2007 [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
