Hi,

I have just got myself a Vista machine and I am having a lot of trouble
getting it to talk to some machines on my network. My other computers can see
each other and access files on each others shares just fine. From Vista I can
access a share on my 2000 box, but not the XP or Linux boxes. Neither have
firewalls on and I can list the shares on both machines, but can't navigate
into them.

I have checked the Net BIOS settings on the 2000 and XP machines, both have
it enabled. Since I can see the machines and the share names I assume there
isn't a name lookup issue. No password is asked for unless the share is
protected. Under 2000 if I have the guest account the shares can be accessed
by Vista without a password, and if guest is disabled a username/password are
asked for and then it works. All other shares are not password protected with
the guest accounts enabled.

Any ideas? Copying files to my 2000 machine or a USB hard disk is getting a
little irritating.
