I have a network with a workgroup with computers with Windows Xp Pro and 2000
Pro. I tried to connect a laptop with Vista Business. From Vista i can see and access the other computers on the network but from XP and 2000 I can't access to it. I can see the laptop on the network but when i tried to access I get an error on starting the session. I created the same user account on the laptop that one in one of my desktops and I can access the laptop with no problems, but on the wellcome windows now I have 2 accounts I can't have all my groupwork accounts on the start of the laptop (25) Is there any solution to this problem.? Thanks Nerea |

If you don't want to add more users, you should public folder and assign every necessary permissions.

I've shared C with Total control for All users, as in my other computers and
activated guest account. I have a private network sharing files and folders and printers. is there anything that i forgot? What do you mean saying "assign every necessary permissions"?

I've solved it.
In vista network properties I had password protected:On. I've changed it to OFF and It works!!! Now I have to know why I see on the network the folders' names in english instead of spanish because my Vista O.S is in Spanish.
