More info on trouble sharing folders

I used easy transfer to move files from an old Xp pc to windows vista pc. I
then tried to do shared folders between the new pc and my laptop which is an
xp system. I can see the laptop on my vista pc network and I can access the
laptop files. When I click on folders in my vista machine that I identified
to share they show as shared. When I go to my laptop with xp the new pc
shows up in network places. However, as soon as I click on the icon for the
shared folders I get an access denied -don't have permission to access. On
my vista machine I have password protection off , discovery on, public folder
on and file sharing on. The public folder allows me to click on its folders
with no access issues but all the files that were transfered using easy
transfer say access denied. Anyone have any ideas/suggestion on how to fix
this? Thanks.

Carl,

I have had the same problem only my situation is made even more absurd by
the fact that my old desktop and my new laptop are both running Vista. They
see one another but when I try to access them I get the access denied
message. I have tried everything. I bought and read two books, spoken to
numerous people -- and NO ONE has been able to help me fix this. I ended up
using MS Groove to access files from both computers. If you get any answers
that actually fix the problem please let me know. --- Richard

FolderShare works in both 64 and 32. I'm using for XP 32 bit desktop and
Vista 64 bit lappy.

I have this same problem in that the XP system can not see the Vista
files and folders. Getting Access denied you do not have permission etc.

What is this foldershare you all speak of?

Groove but wouldn't work for me. It is the same thing as Foldershare, s

I have discovered my problem and it has nothing to do with Vista. It is
working fine. The other systems however did not recognize the new
machine completely. Once I straightened them out all is fine. Got a good
education on the sharing issue in the process.
