I have an sp network and have just added a vista pc. I can see the xp
machines from the vista pc and can see the vista pc from the xp machines. I
can also print from the vista machine. But I can't access any the xp
machines from the vista pc and I can't access the vista pc from the xp
machines. I keep getting the error that the path was not found or that I
don't have the correct permission. I'm setup as a user on both machines.

Any suggestions as to what I may be missing?

Thanks
 
Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.

In many cases this will be caused by a personal firewall or other security
program interfering with SMBs.

Try diagnosing the problem, using logs from "browstat status", "ipconfig /all",
"net config server", and "net config workstation", from each computer. Read
this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (Download
browstat, and run all programs in Vista from a command window started as
admin.):

Does each user have a password, and is it the same password on each machine?
