Hello
I posted this question before in vista general Discussion newsgroup, first
of all thanks for the replys.
Let me restate the problem. I have a workgroup network
now with three computers no it, a Win 2000, an xp and vista. All with the
same
workgroup name (WORKGROUP). Now from the xp I can access the 2000 & the
vista with no problem,
just click on them and they come up with no logon. I can access the vista
from the 2000 and the 2000 from the vista with no problem of signon. But when
I try to access the xp from eather the 2000 or vista I must logon and when I
do I get a logon error saying cannot logon wrong user name or password. I
have the same user name and password for all computers. On the xp I've turned
off the firewall, virse program and my spy swepper no help. everthing is
shared. I have network discovery on, File shairing on, password protection
off. Any Ideas

Thomas,

Is this same user name explicitly enabled for network access, on the XP
computer?

Thanks Chuck.
The problem was with the guest account. It was active but I had no user name
or password for it. Onice I did that everything works OK. I can access the xp
from both the vista and the 2000, with no logon window.
I also upgraded to LLDT protocal now I can see both Vista and xp in network
map.
One thing is there an upgrade for the win2000 so it can be seen in the
network map.
Thanks for the help.

Thomas,

OK, that's the Guest account bit, so you got that out of the way.

As far as the Network Map, that's only going to be usable on a LAN with Windows
Vista and XP, no Windows 2000. You don't need the Network Map though - you have
Network Neighbourhood (My Network Places) that should work just as well, if
properly setup.

Anyway, glad we got that out of the way.
