Vista - Vista to Vista network -- access denied (one direction)

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?

There are many causes for access denied. It could be permission, security
software or computer browser issues. These posts may help,

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.

If you disabled PPS (#4), creating identical user accounts on both computers
(#2) is a waste of time.

You have to enable Guest, for network access, on both computers.

The old "access denied" error can have many causes.

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...ss-denied.html

It's possible that you need to slow down, and work on the problem methodically.
You have to fix all causes simultaneously, and that will happen most easily if
you learn to fix, and test, one problem at a time.

Re: Vista to Vista network -- access denied (one direction)

Do a simple test. Post back with the system error and code # of net use
\\laptopipaddress command in PC. laptopipaddress is the laptop ip address.

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.
