File share fails

Posted: 04-01-2007, 01:42 AM
I think this might be a better spot for this Sorry for multiple,
should have been cross I guess.


I can share files that are on my XP computer on my Lan but the XP
computer cannot see files on this VISTA computer. I have sharing
turned on and the workgroup name is the same. In fact this is simply
an upgraded install so all should still work. When I try to add
network place on the XP machine I find the XP computer by browsing but
I get message that it is not accessible, you may not have permission
etc. I certainly though I did . If I look at the drive I want to
access it says shared on this Vista machine. What am I missing here.
It is strange that I can send to the XP machine but cannot read files
on my Vista machine form the XP machine, can't even see them.
