| | Vista to Vista network -- access denied (one direction) I am having a problem that seems to be very common with Vista. I have a home network setup with a PC and a laptop, both running Vista. I can transfer files from the PC to the laptop, but not from the laptop to the PC. When I try the latter I get “Destination folder access denied.” Similarly, when I try to access my Vista laptop from my Vista PC, I get an “Access is denied error.” I have tried the following: 1) Enable sharing and full permissions; 2) Create identical user accounts on both machines; 3) Disable all firewalls (except Windows Firewall); 4) Disable password protected sharing; 5) Computers are in same network; Anyone figured this out yet? |

| | Re: Vista to Vista network -- access denied (one direction) Thanks, but I've spent a couple of hours going through all these and trying all the fiixes. I'm running Vista on both machines and the network works fine going one direction but not the other. That is, I can connect from laptop to PC folders, but not from PC to laptop folders; I can transfer PC files to the laptop, but not laptop files to the PC. Access to the laptop is denied, even though I have identical Admin accounts on both machines with file sharing enabled and permissions set to full.

| | Re: Vista to Vista network -- access denied (one direction) Everyone: Thanks for your help. Robert: I assume by what you wrote you meant: in my PC, open up Run, type in \\laptopipaddress but with my actual laptop name (e.g., \\TOSHIBAipaddress)? It says Network Error. Windows cannot access \\TOSHIBAipaddress. Error code: 0x80070035. The network path was not found. Mick: Yes I read the entire thing and did everything according to specification. Chuck: I'll take some time and go through the links you sent. Thanks.
