| 667633 | 2008-05-09 07:30:00 | I have an XP pro notebook connecting wirelessly to a router. I have a Vista desktop connected by cable to the same router. The computers are set up to share files between each other but.... The XP pc can view, copy/paste & change files shared files on the Vista PC. However the Vista PC can see but cannot access the shared drive on the XP Pro pc. I get this message...Attached file: permission_denied.jpg (www.imagef1.net.nz) (27 KB) I have tried all sorts of things but nothing works. Has anyone got an easy step by step guide? I googled this issue and there's heaps of how to's but none of them seem to work. I did get it to work ages ago but I can't remember the exact steps I took. |

| 667634 | 2008-05-09 07:36:00 | Have you checked the firewall rules on the XP computer? | Jen (38) | ||
| 667635 | 2008-05-09 08:00:00 | I am using Windows Firewall and file sharing is enabled | supersi (8401) | ||
| 667636 | 2008-05-09 08:02:00 | Are you logged into the Vista machine with a Username / Password that is also identical on the XP machine? Could be a username / pwd permissions issue.. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 667637 | 2008-05-09 08:14:00 | On my Vista machine it has my name, on the XP machine it's just 'administrator' . | supersi (8401) | ||
| 667638 | 2008-05-09 08:53:00 | Same Administrator password on both? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 667639 | 2008-05-09 11:47:00 | Is simple file sharing enabled on the XP machine? If not, enable it. Also check HKLM-System/CurrControlSet/Control/LSA- restrictanonymous=0. If = 1, change to 0. |

| 667640 | 2008-05-09 22:07:00 | Ok, it's set to 0, simple file-sharing is on. I cheated a bit and downloaded a free trial of a program called Network Magic. That fixed everything, I then uninstalled Network Magic and it all still works. |

That fixed everything, I then uninstalled Network Magic and it all still works. Well thats the main reason why I bought it. It works when vista puts upp all sorts of road blocks for no good reason. Paranoid programming going on in MS these days. |
