Hi:
I have successfully networked a Vista laptop with a XP desktop. Each machine
can see the other's shared folders and open them. However the catch is that
the sharing fails BOTH ways when I log onto the XP desktop using an account
that has admin rights. For sharing to work I MUST log into the desktop using
a NON admin account. The XP shared folders are also accessible from the Vista
laptop when there are no users logged into the XP desktop. This is really
puzzling to me. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
-Ram.
