| | Reboot disables file sharing if password protection is on Hi! I just bought a new Lenovo 3000N200 laptop which came with Vista Home Premium preinstalled. I connected it wirelessly to my home network. The other PCs in this network are wired to the same ASUS wireless router and run WinXP. All the machines are in the same workgroup. The network profile of my Vista laptop is "Private". Everything works fine until I enable password protected sharing (file sharing ON, public folder sharing ON, password protected sharing ON) and reboot the machine. I mention the system is working as expected until reboot. After each reboot, I find both the file sharing and public folder sharing set to OFF. Of course, the shared folders are not accessible via network. I can set the two options back to ON and everything works fine again, but this is unacceptably annoying! If password protected sharing is set to OFF, file and folder sharing keep their ON state even after reboot. But I want the protected sharing - it fits my needs like a glove! Does anyone have any idea what is going on with my Vista machine??? I love the new network features in Vista, but this little malfunction is driving me crazy! Any input would be greatly appreciated -- thanks in advance! |

| | Re: Reboot disables file sharing if password protection is on Thank you for the quick reply, Robert! Unfortunatelly, it seems my bad english has driven you in the wrong direction. I have no troubles working with mapped volumes, and I have no volume on my Vista machine mapped on another PC on my home network. I was talking about two of the settings in "Network and Sharing Center": files sharing and pub folder sharing. They turn by themselves from ON to OFF every time I boot the PC, but only if a third setting, password protected sharing, is set to ON. The mentioned settings are not stuck or blocked, as I can turn them to ON and everything works just fine till the next boot up. As you imagine, the situation is more than annoying... Any idea on this one? Thank you very much! "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: Quote: > The Vista Home edition doesn't remember the credentials. Create a logon > batch to map the drive.

| | Re: Reboot disables file sharing if password protection is on Hi again, Robert! The network is "private" all the time. This is a state that doesn't change. Still, file sharing state is not remembered by the system. I'm starting to think, as you say, that it is something related to a third party piece of software that came preinstalled on my system (Lenovo Access Connections) that automatically changes networking settings based on some user defined locations. Anyway, even disabling this software the malfunction continues to occur. I forgot to mention I also installed SP1 for Vista a couple of days ago - don't know if this might be a factor in what's going on. Thanks again for your effort and patience! "Robert L.

| | Re: Reboot disables file sharing if password protection is on Hi, John! Thanks for your input, it's most appreciated! My Vista laptop is configured NOT to use DHCP, it has a fixed IP address. DHCP server is NOT enabled on my router, as all my PCs are configured this way. All the machines in my network join one and the same workgroup, NOT a domain. I haven't touched the security policies on my Vista laptop, as I don't even know how to get there in Vista. I'll make available whatever info might be necessary to solve this problem - unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge what to supply unless asked... Thank you very much for your help!

| windows vista ultimate | Re: Reboot disables file sharing if password protection is on 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 !! |

| | Re: Reboot disables file sharing if password protection is on Hi again, Robert! You were right in the assumption that a third party software (Lenovo Access Connections in my case) is the cause of this. I did a system recovery and removed this software before configuring my network settings. Now everything is working fine. Once again it has been proven Microsoft rules and others can't cope with it! Zillion of thanks for your help, congratulations for your patience and a large bow to your knowledge! "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: Quote: > Try one more thing.
