Hopefully be a simple one for someone to answer...
My LAN, is a nice and simple affair...
One Modem Router, with main PC ( XP64 ) directly connected to the Router, one cable going to the Lan Room, and on to a switch, and then on 4 more PCs, and a WAP.
Now, some of the PCs are XP, some are 2K and a couple are linux.
Not a worry so far.
Each and every PC can see each and every other PC.
I can get any PC to have full access to any other PCs files, and thats all cool.
The snag is, that I have decided that since I got Vista Business and Ultimate sat here doing nuffin, that I will actually go ahead and use one, and this is where my issues have started.
First of all, and I have no way to explain this, but when the Vista PC tried to access the internet, it disconnected the router??? - yeah, go figure that one, cos I cant, but its doing it....
Anyway, thats neither here nor there for the time being... It an be due to a number of things, even just dumb plain bad timing.
What I really need to know is that when I am trying to get any PC to access the folders on the Vista PC, I am asked for a username & Password.
The problem here, is that no matter what I enter, it just wont accept it.
I just cannot get access to the Vista Folders.
In Vista itself I have given full R/W Access to everyone, I dont have a Password setup and ity wont accept my username or Administrator or... Well, anyhting I try?
Any clues?
