| Vista Ultimate x64 MAK, OpenSolaris 5, Gentoo 2008.1.... | Re: Simple sharing question Non of those worked? testing your firewall, disabling password protected sharing, adding the everyone group manually to the share, etc? |

| Vista Ultimate 32bit/Windows 7 RC build 7100 | Re: Simple sharing question Yes, i had completely turned off the Windows firewall as well. HOWEVER, i did go back and double checked manually adding "everyone" via the security tab, and voila!, i'm back in.  Thanks for your time! Dustin |
