Vista network permissions.
Discussion
Sorry to be boring but...Vista network permissions.
Problem: When trying to access another computers (on my home networks) shared folders I am confronted with "network not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource".
Background:
The network map goes as follows.
shamelessly nicked from another site but same setup, different computer names.
So that appears fine.
The wireless computer is a Laptop. Vista 32.
The wired computer is a desktop. Vista 64.
Netgear router in the middle.
Set to a private network as opposed to public.
On both computers I have Network Discovery, File Sharing and Public folder sharing enabled.
So....The computers can see each other in on network. Using the above picture as an example, I can open up 'Emils' pc and see what folders they are sharing but upon double clicking I get presented with;
"Nnot accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource"
I get this trying to access the desktop from the laptop and the laptop from the desktop.
Both computers have broadband via the router working fine.
Question: How do I enable permissions for this to work? Is it a router problem or a windows problem? I have windows firewall running on both of them and Nod32 running on the desktop.
