I've done considerable research and have insured that I am in compliance
with the MS article "File and Printer Sharing in Windows Vista", but when I
use a Save As dialog on my XP machine to save a file to the Vista machine I
get the message "You do not have access to the folder xxxxxxx. See your
administrator for access to the folder." This is a simple P2P home network.
The XP machine can save to the Vista "Public" folder.
I have setup the Vista machine to be as open as possible. The share I can't
get to is the E-drive and I've made it available to "Everyone". And
"Everyone" can do everything - Full Control, Change, and Read! "Password
protected sharing" is Off.
In the Save As dialog when I click on "My Network Places" I can see the
Public folder on the Vista machine but not the E-drive. However, when I
navigate to the Vista machine (i.e. Entire Network > Microsoft Windows
Network > Bobshome > the Vista Machine) then I can see both the Public
folder and the E-drive. When I double click the E-drive I get the message
"You do not have access to the folder xxxxxxx. See your administrator for
access to the folder."
(The problem is not unique to the Save As dialog, that's just where I first
encountered it. I have a similar problem, although not exactly the same
message text, if I simply try, from the XP machine, to see what is on the
Vista E-drive.)
I'd be grateful if someone can suggest where I go next with this.
Thanks, Bob
