I have set up a network between my home computer running XP Home Edition SP3 and my office computer running Vista Home Basic. They are connect via cable to a Westell 327W wireless router/DSL modem.

I can access the XP unit from the Vista computer with no problem, but I get an "access denied" message when I try to access the Vista from the XP. The XP can see the Vista computer and the shared files, but apparently I don't have "permission" to access the files.

On the Vista I need to enter a password to log in, but not on my home computer. Could this be part of the problem and how can I solve it?

Thanks in advance.

Hello and Welcome to TSF!

From Vista computer you may disable password protected sharing, do the following:

1. In the Sharing and Discovery section of the Network and Sharing Center window, click the down arrow next to Password protected sharing.
2. Within the Password protected sharing settings, click Turn off password protected sharing, and then click Apply

=======================
Create the same User/Password Account on both computers.

=======================
Disable any Firewall/Security Software for now.
