networking access permissions with vista

Posted: 04-23-2008, 02:27 AM
I have three computers (two with home basic, one with business) that I am
trying to set up to share files. They can all use the networked printer and
access the internet, but when I try to access the files, which have been set
to share (in both share and security properties) I am told that access is
denied as I don't have the password. In Network and sharing centre the
password protection is turned off. I am using McAfees virus. Can anyone help?

Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing.

Permissions/Share info is there as well.

If using Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro I.S., make sure file and printer
sharing is enabled in THEIR firewall .(LAN allowed)

1st thing to do is make sure that the Workgroup Name of ALL the computers is
the SAME.

In Vista Network and Sharing:

Network Discovery: ON (So it can see the other computers)

Network set to Private (Public is for hotspots, airports, etc)

File Sharing: ON

Public Folder Sharing: ON (Vista’s Public Folder is the same as XP’s Shared
Docs)

Password Protected: OFF (unless you want to set up identical usernames, and
passwords (they can be different) on ALL computers in your Network). If you
have it ON, you will be asked for a username and password when you try to
access a Vista computer from an XP computer, or a Vista Computer.
