Vista won't open xp networking
Please help me figure this out. I have a new Vista machine wired to an XP
(named "COMPAQ") via a Netgear router. The XP can open and change files the Vista has shared. The XP can MS Easy Transfer files to the Vista and can share iTunes music. The Vista cannot access the XP's shared files or shared printer. In the Vista Network and Sharing Center, when I click on "COMPAQ" I get the message: "\\COMPAQ is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions." What does this mean? Does "this server" mean the XP or Vista machine? I've tried turning off both firewalls and matching names and passwords and redoing the network setup wizards to no avail. I read http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb727037.aspx but it didn't seem to apply. Please help!
