Windows 7 vs vista network file sharing?

Yeah, if you're using usernames and passwords, you need password sharing On.

If password sharing is Off then you would need to edit the drive permissions and allow the "Everyone" group access.

It's why you get Access Denied even though Microsoft says you're supposed to be able to access the shared drive or folder. :\

so i tried to acess the win7 comp from vista comp and it said that e drive is available but the user acc youre loged on with has denied access...


Wait wait oO pass sharing? oO and where can i find that????
I only saw pass protection on/off

but I thought you were trying to do it the other way around? access the vista computer from the win7 computer? if so, all of the setting's I'm talking about should be done on the Vista computer (besides making the same user account on both computers).

yeah password protected sharing is what I meant, sorry.

i am trying to make it i need to acess vista from win7 comp... i just tried to do it the other way arn in case it worked... but it doesnt, so i put the pass protection on... no changes... :'(

Ok rebooted its asking for pass oO where do i set it up >< man this is sick

Enterin my username and pass for comp does NOT work...

ok so i can acess the win7 comp from vista comp now but it still doesnt work the other way around....

So idk whats the problem but i can open win7 comp from vista and copy my files IN to the other comp... well its good enough for me, so more or less the problem is solved.
Thank you for your time :) u deserve a box of cookies :)

On the win7 computer, you need to login to the account you created on the vista computer.

Or from the win7 computer you can Map the shared drive using those same credentials.

Or you can turn off password protected sharing and right-click on E: drive goto Security Advanced and add the "Everyone" group with inherited permissions.

Or you can enable the Guest account.

I will have to write a guide on this someday because sometimes I think I'm the only one that understands it.

When pass was off i DID go to advanced sharing (not security) and everyone group was selected and i selected all 3 boxes where the permessions were (viev,full control and something else)
It didnt help tho...
