Message: [QUOTE="Mick Murphy, post: 12158838"] If you are going to do passworrd protected sharing, read below about same user accounts and Passwords Install the router's software as well, or what IP address are you using to try and log int it??? Printer Sharing in Network and Sharing is for other users in the same computer, not network Printer. Read this article at the link below before you do another thing! [URL]http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx[/URL] Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing. Permissions/Share info is there as well. If using Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro I.S. etc, make sure file and printer sharing is enabled in THEIR firewall (or LAN allowed, depending on how their Exceptions are worded in their Firewall) 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 (Vistaâ€™s Public Folder is the same as XPâ€™s Shared Docs) Password Protected: OFF (unless you want to set up identical usernames and passwords (passwords can be different) 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, or a Vista computer.
