Vista - login problem..

I have a few computers in my home network (all Ethernet, not wireless). I
can't log onto my wife's Vista Home Premium (named tonis-acer) from my Vista
Home Premium (PaulsAcerLaptop), another Home Premium laptop, my Windows 7
beta laptop, or an XP Pro laptop.

I login in as:
User name: Toni
password: abc1234 (not really)

response:
User name: PaulsAcerLaptop\toni
password: unchanged
small window: "Logon unsuccessful", etc.

Other computers don't have this problem. What's going on? Help, anyone.
TIA, Paul

I say that because it used to be necessary, i.e. in earlier versions of
Windows. Well, I'm really misspeaking. What is needed is an account on
each computer with the same name and password, and typically it would
be an otherwise unused account on each computer.

If I am wrong here, let's hope the more knowledgeable people on this NG
will correct me...

BTW, from your description, you are *not* logging on to her computer,
but merely gaining access to shares on her computer.

Thank you both. Neither idea worked. And yes, even tho the text says "user
name" and "password", I understand that it only allows me to have access to
those items on her computer that she wishes to share. Thanks, Paul
