3 computers: one Vista Home Premium, two XP Home SP2 machines.
I had same problem and used same solution.
Yet, I still can not access the XP Computer from Vista machine (Access
Denied) to see the printer and a shared folder I set up on the XP machine.
However, I can see the XP printer and folders on my other XP machine in the
same network.
Any assistance will be helpful and greatly appreciated.
Cordially,
Robert
