Hi,
I have a XP machine in a NT domain and I have a Vista machine outside
domain. I shared a folder on XP machine and try to browse to the folder from
the Vista machine, it asks for the domain authentication and I authenticate
as normal and finally can open the folder and see the folder contents in the
explorer. But when I try to copy to that folder, it doesn't allow, but pops
up with some security error. Conversly I was bound to share a folder on
Vista and access it from the XP machine to copy over the files. What is the
issue?

Thanks,
Vipin

What was the error message that you're getting? Possibly it's due to the
ability to isolate individual computers and domains from the Vista network.
The feature is called "Server and Domain Isolation". I believe it's
configured in the Advanced Settings of Windows Firewall, but you should be
able to find more information on the Help And Support pages.
