Can't Access local Network
OK, here's the setup:
Two laptops running on Vista Home premium, connected to the internet and eachother by a router/Switch. All settings from the firewall are correct, since I can see the folders I shared on either PC. The thing is, though, that once I click on the shared folders I get the error message " \\machine\shared_folder is not accessible. You probably don't have the proper credentials top access this networksource. Contact the administrator to find out if you have the right credentials. ACCESS DENIED" Now, what did I do wrong and how can I correct this problem? Sure, I have to grant access to the user on the other computer, but how?? Please help!

Can't Access local Network
Open the properties of the shared folder and check the Security tab. Have you assign permission there? Please post back.

I think I have, but how can I grant access to a user on a different computer?
I have not been able to find that part of the sharing setup. Thanks for your answer "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: Open the properties of the shared folder and check the Security tab.

Can't Access local Network
No, still a "no go" :-(
The problem is, I think, that I cannot choose a different "location" (e.g. my computers' name is "Toshiba" and the other computer is "HP". NOw, when I try to ad a different user to access the files on my computer, I can not choose "HP" as a location. To tell you the truth, I am getting pretty fed up with all the restrictions in Vista. Things used to work fine in XP. Maybe I should just go back to the old OS? Thanks again in advance for your answer!.

Can't Access local Network
OK, here's "A" solution I found in this community, although imho not a very
decent one. I just added the "guest" account to the list of people who are allowed to share the folder and files and gave this account all necessary permissions and now I can access the shared folders. So much for Vista increased security, or am I wrong? For now, it's the only solution that works. Anyway; Thanks for your help, Robert.

Since enabling guest works, that approve this is security issue. However, we don't recommended to enable guest account, so that you may want to create same username and password on the both computers. This link may help,

Can't Access local Network
Thanks again, Robert, for your answer.
Creating the same usernames and passwords on both machines, in my case, didn't do the trick either, but I will let this case rest now. Since there are still a pile of other compatibility and other issues I still have to attend to, I decided to "downgrade" both machines to windows XPSP2. (Mind you: both machines, one Toshiba and one HP, were originally delivered with Vista Home Premium; both manufacturers acknowledge the issues, but have no solution yet) and wait until the first SP of Vista gets released. As for sharing files: I bought a NAS (one that actually works under Vista) and installed it in the network. Again; many thanks for you answers!
