Hi, I have had one desktop running vista for a year now and previously i had my XP hard drive mapped to my vista machine to enable file transfer and so i could share the files throughout my house. More recently i purchashed another desktop also running visay 64-bit.

I wanted to do the same thing with my two vista machines. I have them on the same network, took the password off of both machines, enabled file sharing, file sharing permissions for the folders i wanted to share.

They can see each other but every time i try to map it, vista asks me for UN and PW. For the UN i type the host name\account name and leave password blank because i don't have a password and i constantly get denied.

I just don't understand because I mapped XP drive to Vista so easily but i'm unable to map to vista machines together. Can someone please help me?

HI,

Set the password for user name and try. Because vista will automatically disable the user accounts which is having no password.
