I have a Windows Vista (SP1) pc, and an XP (SP3) both connected to my router (Vista w/less, XP wired). I would like to access the network shares previously established on the XP pc from the vista. They both see eachother in Netowrk Places/Network, and (due to my settings) I can access the files on the Vista from XP, however when I attempt to go the other way round, Vista accessing XP, I am asked to Log in to the XP system. I do so with a VALID username and password (I know this as I am currently logged on to the xp system (via remote desktop) and have even tried creating a new admin acc. on the xp system and using that) but I am told that the log in info is incorrect.

All accounts I have tried are admin, so it can't be an access denied thing. Any ideas? I've disabled the firewall temporarily on the XP sys, so its not that!

Cheers,
Dean
