German version) and a Latitude D600 notebook with XP SP2 (US english
version). They are on the same workgroup (MSHOME) connected by a WPA-PSK TKIP
protected wireless link through a router. On both computers I have opened
accounts with the same user name and password. The network was ok for some
time (while the desktop was directly connected with a cable to the router and
the wireless link was running under WEP from the Latitude notebook to the
router) but started to make problems when the router had to be moved to
another room and both PCs were wirelessly connected to the network. By now,
the Vista desktop can see the XP notebook, read and write files. The XP
notebook can see that the desktop is there but it is denied authorization to
access it, use a printer aso. I tried to follow "File and Printer Sharing in
Windows Vista", even switch off the firewall on Vista, enable NetBIOS over
TCP/IP, disable IPv6 but nothing seems to do the job.
