Networking with XP (share files)

[BoardBabe]

Im sharing files over my LAN however people running XP cannot access my shared files. I can access theirs though. When trying to access the Vista computers shared files from an XP machine they will get a message that the user has not got the rights to access. How to I resolve this?

if you have tight security settings you'll have to make a user account giving access to said xp machine.

What do mean by tight security? It seems like the XP machine tried to "logon" through an account that has no rights .But I have only my personal Admin account on the Vista machine.

You must disable the sharing password :whistle:

if ur on a WORKGROUP then u have to set a same usernames and passwords on both.. if u disable the password on them or one of them it will not work.. both has to have same user names with same passwords..

Hmm, where do I set this username/password? They are on a WORKGROUP.
