| | Sharing files between Vista Domain PC and Home Workgroup Laptop Greetings, I am new to vista and as the admin I have installed Vista on 'my' computers before rolling it out. RIght now I am having problems sharing files between my Work Computer (which is part of a windows 2000 domain) and my Laptop which is a member of my personal workgroup at my home. When I try to access a share on the Machine that is a domain member I get the error: The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed. But when I go the otherway around and connect from my PC (Domain) to my Laptop (workgroup) I am prompted for username and password and everything works fine. Is there any way to fix this so that non domain members of a visiting workgroup can access files and printers? |

| | Re: Sharing files between Vista Domain PC and Home Workgroup Lapto Should it not prompt for username and password? I understand that is how it works in a workgroup, but I am connecting to a domain controlled PC.
