| Good day!
I'm setting up a couple of PC in a workgroup scenario. Some of the machines are XP, and some are running Vista. To be able to share documents, I set up shared folders in both the XP machines and Vista machines. I've also set up that users have the same username and password in each machine. When I tried to access from XP the Vista machine (\\Vista1) or a shared folder (\\Vista1\Documents), XP doesn't prompt me for a username and password anymore. But when I do it from Vista to XP, Vista prompts for a username and password, eventhough I have logged in with the same username and password in Vista with my account details in XP. Why is this so? (I haven't touched the "Manage My Network Passwords", in both the XP and Vista machines).
Thank you very much. |

| I believe this is because Vista turns on Password Protected File Sharing by default, whereas in XP, Simple File Sharing defaulted to no password required. You check that, and turn it on and off, from Vista's Networking and Sharing Center.
