| | home network XP comp cant' access files on vista desktop Hi My laptop running xp cannot access files on my desktop running vista. Desktop can access files on laptop, I can also access files laptop>desktop using Laplink. Error message says talk to administrator (me) don't have appropriate permission. Don' t know whether this problem first manifested itself when I changed routers. Have tried without firewall on router and on desktop. I believe sharing is set appropriately. I am not being asked for any passwords and I do know them. Can anyone give me some suggestions as to what I should look at please? Regards -- David |

| | Re: home network XP comp cant' access files on vista desktop David, I'm not a Vista expert. I have worked around it by creating, in vista, the same user account I have in XP. Same name and password. Hope this help.
