That's either a personal firewall, or a bad NetBT setting. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/07/advanced-windows-networking-using.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/0...ing-using.html Then look at authentication on both computers. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/12/windows-xp-and-vista-on-lan-together.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/1...-together.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

| | Re: Vista -> XP Well, looking at router settings, etc. I have yet to come to a conclusion. I have never had an issue networking anything until Vista was brought into the house. Im going to try working with a different XP Pro computer tomorrow to see if it works. The authorization is ok too. It makes no sense to me as to why it won't let me map drives. Any other possibilities?
