Jack,
Your XP patch for mapping the network has worked. But the XP desktop still
is able to access files which are permitted between the two Vista machines
and the XP desktop does not have permission to these files. I am unable to
access any files on the XP desktop from the Vista desktop or laptop. It
tells me I do not have permission to do so; even though I have assigned
these folders to be shared on the XP desktop. Some of these folder on the
network have been deleted off the XP desktop but they still appear on the
network. I am stumped about this one.
