mapped drives with UAC on?

[point decay]

Guys,

I have two Vista x64 pc's that are networked through my dg834 router, but cannot access my mapped drive's unless i turn UAC off on both pc's.

Is there any way arrounf this?

Idealy i still want to keep my drives mapped and be able to access all HDD partitions on either pc.


cheers

Random stab in the dark but can you not set up a user account for each pc on each pc and add that user account to the folder permissions?

ive had to set the folder permissions for "everyone", because i dont see the username of the other pc

you need to set up accounts on each of the PC's, when the accounts match it will let the user stright though.

I use this to file share form XP to vista and Vista to XP, works like a charm

right, will give that a go. Will i have to set a password, I only ask as one of the pc's is used as a media center and doesnt have a keyboard attached?

You don't need to do that, not if it's set to everyone. Check your settings in network connection centre

any idea what could be wrong in the settings?, as it works without a hitch, but when i turn UAC on, all HDD partitions become unnacessable?

you could try tweak uac - that may work, I assume uac is blocking you.
Can't say I have any issue with my mapped folder.

Make sure in network sharing centre that network discovery and file sharing is on

Make sure in network sharing centre that network discovery and file sharing is on

But disabling UAS wouldn't automatically start your computer sharing files and drives, would it?
