Password Protected Sharing Problem
I have a Vista Home Premium based laptop and a Vista Home Premium based
desktop on a home network. Networking seems to work fine except that Laptop can only access the shared folders on (and the printer connected to) the desktop after provision of a user name and password even though "Password Protected Sharing" is "Off" on both computers. Has anybody else experienced this and if so found a solution?

You may want to create the same username on both computers. Please post back
with the result. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "rickw" wrote in message ...

Password Protected Sharing Problem
Thanks Robert L - that seemed to do the trick. Just seems odd that you need
to do this with Pasword Protected Sharing Off. Regards rickw "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: You may want to create the same username on both computers.
