Vista -> XP

Im trying to map my Vista PC to a Windows XP PC(The files I want are on the
XP machine). Im getting one of 2 errors: I either get the "Path Cannot Be
Found" or an authorization error. What can I do to fix this?? Thanks a lot!

Kev,

I'd start with the "Path Cannot Be Found" error. That's either a personal
firewall, or a bad NetBT setting.

Then look at authentication on both computers.

Well, looking at router settings, etc. I have yet to come to a conclusion. I
have never had an issue networking anything until Vista was brought into the
house. Im going to try working with a different XP Pro computer tomorrow to
see if it works. The authorization is ok too. It makes no sense to me as to
why it won't let me map drives. Any other possibilities?

Specifically I get this message: "Logon failure: the user has not been
granted the requested logon type at this computer" What is that supposed to
mean??

That's a known error, with a specific solution.
