Bottom line: how can I convince Vista to share a folder. Here's my status:
Vista hardwired to XP via router. Both workgroups are the same, and
firewalls are MS. Both computers CAN see each other and XP DOES share ALL
its shared folders from Vista, but XP can't get Vista to share its "shared"
folders, except the Public folder. The printer works well for both.
I want to share a folder named "Z" on Vista to the XP. I right-click the
folder, mark it for sharing, and do all the right things but Vista refuses
to share it to the XP. The XP can "see" the folder but can't access it. Do
you think that my problem is a matter of giving "permission" in some way???
I've tried to give permission, but nothing works. When I give Vista my user
name for the XP it says it can't find it!
This is a long struggle, but I'm taking it one step at a time for now. Help
please! Thanks.
