Hi, I'm trying to set-up an SMB share on a computer running Vista Ultimate. I have the folders shared with full control for 'everyone'.

I have one computer running Vista ultimate that connects to the shares without prompting for a password, which is what I would like.

I have one computer running XP SP2 that prompts for a password before connecting. If the correct credentials are supplied (local login), it works fine. This isn't ideal, but at least it is functional.

I have two other computers running XP SP2 that connect to the computer without prompting for a login and which can see the shared folders. They get an access denied error when they try to connect to either of the shared folders.

I've tried mapping the shares (logging in manually) to a drive, but they claim that there is already a connection (If that's relevant), and so fail to connect.

Any ideas how I can get the XP clients to connect? I'm happy to supply any further information as may be necessary.
