| | Re: Reboot disables file sharing if password protection is on Hi again, John! You are right about the solution. The culprit in my problem was indeed Lenovo (ex-IBM) Access Connections software. It should indeed work as you explain, but it simply doesn't. Or it does, but aparently not the way Vista expects such software to do it. I did a system recovery, uninstalled the mentioned program and configured my network settings only afterwards. Now I'm glad to tell you everything works just fine! Thank you for your extraordinary help - you have all my admiration for your kindness, thoroughfulness, intuition and (at last but not at least) knowledge!

| Vista ultimate x64 | Re: Reboot disables file sharing if password protection is on Quote: Originally Posted by john_cena hi after doing some research on your issue i figured out that this problem is only specfifc to IBM machines. Access Connections It overrides the file and print sharing setting on your network connection if enabled (among other important settings). To change your settings: Access Connections - manage - select your connection - edit - additional settings. This should fix your problem. Hope this helps CHeers !! I've been reading this thread because I'm having the same problem described here but in my case my PC was built by me and doesn't have the IBM software that you mentioned. I installed Vista Ultimate x64 on this PC and have some third party software installed but it's mostly for Peripherals (Printer, GPS unit, Data robot, ETC.) I was wondering if you have another solution that might be able to help me. I have a ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium motherboard with 2 NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT video cards, intel core2 6600, two seagate 1TB drives on a raid 1 configuration. As mentioned before my problem is the same. Every time I reboot my PC the "Printer Sharing" is turned off in the "Network and sharing center" and I have to turn it back on to have my workgroup be able to see my PC. I have the "Password protected sharing" turned to off. Any help would be greatly apreciated. Thanks in advance. Seb  |
