I have Vista Home Premium.
I have set File sharing ON
Printer Sharing ON.
Network Discovery ON.

With no password.

XP can see Vista, but when I click on the share, it says
Access is denied.
\\Computername\Share is not accessible. you might not have permission to
use
this network Resources.


Appreciate your help

Thank you

Hi,

I don't have XP, but in Win2K, under local users, I had to enable the
Guest account in order to access a share on Win2K from Vista. I don't
know if that is the only/best way.
