Wireless

[Urbain Van Gucht]

Hi,

Another shot again at Vista wireless.
Got vista and xp. the 3 pc's see each other. But if i try to acces the xp
machines from vista (and only wireless). I get an error " access denied". If
i do this with a wired environment everything works.

Regards

BTW I'm a system engineer (Windows/Citrix/Netware)

I'd suspect a firewall configuration. Some security programs like McAfee
have separate firewall settings for wired and wireless.

Hi
Wireless is just a replacement of wire. if both computers can access the
Router or the Internet then the Wireless is OK and has nothing to do with
File Sharing or an any other LAN exchange.
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings
on each computer that is part of the Network,
http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.

Jack,

Both computers have full access to the internet.
1 is Vista Home the other one is XP Pro. Both computers are in the same
workgroup.
Share is standard. Share rights everyone full, user has NTFS rights.

Same user on both computers, and I do a net use /user:computername\username
password
And yeah it is the right computername. If I put the xp machine on wire it
works.
I have a third machine with XP and the both XP's don't have a problem it is
only from Vista to XP.

And the most curieus is, the XP can access the Vista.

And it is not a firewall issue => why not very simple on Vista => firewall
disabled and mcafee disabled gives the same problem. Or Vista has a bug that
leaves firewall on wireless.

On XP i have ZoneAlarm Pro, and the complete private range is excluded, and
i tried also without ZoneAlarm (I deinstalled it).

And the third machine should also have firewall issue to the xp machine.

And I have been thru those documents. I manage an environment with SAN/NAS/
Windows 2000/Windows 2003/Windows 2008/ Windows XP/ Vista with 30 000
clients. That is why this so frustrating. This is a simple set up.

Thx

Urbain
