Problems with network sharing

I've made a sharing for my girlfriend to backup some data, but she
can't write-access it, even if, when I mount it as a network share on
her WinXP Home SP2 laptop, I set "log on as a different user" and I
give "VISTACOMPUTER\mylogin" / my_password.
And for my HD media player (DVico Tvix M5000-U), which needs a share to
access movies on my computer (if i've not put them in the integrated
hard disk), it needs Guest account to access the share. But even if
I've enabled Guest account, allowed Network sharing in Vista FW, set
all the rights to Guest on this shared folder, (and even if I disable
the firewall), the player can't access the share, it seems unable to
even see the share, while if I reboot to XP, where I've done the same
things, there's no problem at all.
I'd like to make it work with Vista, so I would not have to reboot to
XP sometimes.
Does anyone see what I could have forgotten?
Thank you

Christophe

If you are using Vista 5308 Home Premium or Home Basic you may have some
trouble getting file or folder sharing to work. There are a couple of known
bugs in that area.

To fix the problem with your media player give this a try:
1. Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> File and Printer Sharing
2. Under the network resources select "Anyone who is on the same
network as this computer"
3. Click save.
4. Right-click the folder you want to share, select "Properties", click
the classic button, check "Yes, share this folder"

Your media player should now be able to connect as a guest to the folder
you've shared.

As for the problem with mounting the network share...how did you create the
share on the folder?
