share

[Thomas]

I use a network at my Grandmother's house in order to share files. Her
desktop computer can acess my computer just fine but I cannot access hers.
Every time I am prompted for a username and password and when I enter them I
still cannot connect. When I disable her password through network and
sharing center I am still prompted with the same username and password.
What username and password does it need- the username and the password of
the person logged on? This is what I give it and it does not allow me
access. Can anyone help?

Try to cerate your username with the password on her computer.

Cerate: "A hard, unctuous, fat- or wax-based solid, sometimes medicated,
formerly applied to the skin directly or on dressings."

I don't think that is what you meant was it?

Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing.

How to give Permissions are there, too.

If you are running Norton, Trend Micro, McAfee, etc’s Firewall, check its
settings to make sure it allows file and printer sharing..

1st thing to do is make sure that the Workgroup Name of ALL the computers is
the SAME.

In Vista Network and Sharing:

Network Discovery: ON (So it can see the other computers)

Network set to Private (Public is for hotspots, airports, etc)

File Sharing: ON

Public Folder Sharing: ON (Vista’s Public Folder is the same as XP’s Shared
Docs)

Password Protected: OFF (unless you want to set up identical usernames and
passwords on ALL computers in your Network) If you have it ON, you will be
asked for a username and password when you try to access a Vista computer
from an XP computer.

Also, run the XP’s Home Network File and Printer sharing Wizard.
