    Vista to 2000, 2000 has shared folder

    We are having a heck of a time getting a new Vista laptop to talk with a
    shared folder on a 2000 system.

    We have matched workgroup names, both have internet access, no firewalls, no
    internet security software (just AVGFree), are up-to-date...our XP Home box
    can see and use the 2000 share but not Vista.

    Looking for any additional insight to get this connected.



    Thanks in advance,

    Dan

    Can ping the windows 2000 by IP? If yes, can you ping it by name?
