Hi all, I've managed to set up a network between a vista desktop and an XP laptop.
The Vista machine can see and access the files on the XP laptop, and although the XP laptop can see the Vista desktop, when I try to access the shared folder it asks for username and password.
The Vista desktop doesn't have login credentials set up though, how do I sort this?

Maybe you need to set up a safe zone (your entire LAN) with the firewall on the Vista machine."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"
