    Vista not allowing copying files

    Hi,
    I have a XP machine in a NT domain and I have a Vista machine outside
    domain. I shared a folder on XP machine and try to browse to the folder from
    the Vista machine, it asks for the domain authentication and I authenticate
    as normal and finally can open the folder and see the folder contents in the
    explorer. But when I try to copy to that folder, it doesn't allow, but pops
    up with some security error. Conversly I was bound to share a folder on
    Vista and access it from the XP machine to copy over the files. What is the
    issue?

    Thanks,
    Vipin

    What was the error message that you're getting? Possibly it's due to the
    ability to isolate individual computers and domains from the Vista network.
    The feature is called "Server and Domain Isolation". I believe it's
    configured in the Advanced Settings of Windows Firewall, but you should be
    able to find more information on the Help And Support pages.
