Dear all,

I'm trying to share folders on my Vista PC, so XP PC can see them, add files to them etc.

After doing the Network and Sharing settings page, i've set everything to On - media sharing, public folder sharing, use without a password etc etc

Now, the "Public" folders in the Vista PC have been shared fine - on XP, i can map them as network drives and use them fine

However, with any other folders (including other internal hard drives on the vista PC), i can't share them..

I've got as far as the XP PC able to SEE them, and map them, but when i try to open them, it comes up with an error or access denied.

In the "Sharing" properties of the folder or trying attempting to be shared, i have set Everyone as able to view, modify etc

help!
 
I'll put my money on the Password Protect on Vista. It requires the same user account and password on the other machine to access the share.
