I have a home network that is comprised of four machines: two vista 64 bit os
machines; one XP Pro OS machine and One NT 2000 Pro machine. The two Vista
machines can read and write files to the XP and NT machines but the none of
the machines, including the Vista machines can read and write files to the
Vista machines over the network. All machines are visible on the network but
when I click on a shared file (other than public folders) I get an access
denied. I have tried setting every combination of permissions on the Vista
machines but nothing has worked. Does anyone know how to make the one Vista
machine talk to another Vista machine over a network, other than just then
Shared Public Folders?

Is Password Protected Sharing on or off on the Vista computers? Is an
appropriate account enabled, for network access?

Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

Thanks Chuck for your prompt reply. Password Protected Sharing is OFF. I
have tried to set this to ON but it only ask me for a name and password,
which I have no idea what to enter. I tried creating an account on both
machines for the other machine that has a password, but this did not help.

I am not sure what an "appropriate account enabled" is. Would you please
inform me. Thanks again.

If you disable PPS, you end up with Guest only sharing. Enable Guest for
network access.

I have a home edition vista and the others are xp, I tried to share some
files into the network but i cannot find any shared combuter, also i set all
the setting that riquired for sharing but i still does not find any computer
 
Hi, on the host p.c in the file sharing/choose people to share with box,
instead of choosing from the drop down type "everyone" without the "" which
will share the item in the same way xp does..

Regards

Bazz
