I have a vista laptop and an xp desktop.
Both are part of the same workgroup.
Both have a shared folder.
When I try to access the shared folder on the vista laptop from my desktop a username/password box pops up. I fill in the blanks and I can access the files.
But when I try to access the xp desktop from the vista laptop instead of a username/password promt I get a box say "you dont have permission blah blah)
What do I need to do to get a password promt on the vista laptop when trying to access the desktop?
Many Thanks!
EDIT: I should add that its the c: on both pcs that is shared and I can open files on the c: root but not folders. Its a wifi connection. The printer is plugged into the desktop and it prints no problem from the laptop. I just cannot open folders on the desktop.
