| | Re: Unable to access local share - Vista Ultimate Ok problem resolved. It seems that turning on file sharing in the Network and Sharing Centre does not enable file sharing on all interfaces. After enabling file sharing on my wireless interface I am able to access local shares. Thanks for your assistance Robert, I would suggest that this is a bug.

| | Re: Unable to access local share - Vista Ultimate Control panel, network connections, select the wireless adapter, right click properties and then check the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks. Unfortunately the setting is not permanent, it does not survive a reboot or drop in the wireless network.
