Vista Networking
Discussion
I am having a problem setting up file sharing under Vista, getting permission denied errors...
3 PCs all running Vista - all can see the folders and printers of other PCs including public folders.
Both new PCs can browse the D drive on the media centre PC, however across the network that is the ONLY drive that can be browsed, all of the rest return permission denied errors.
All PCs have file sharing turned on and are on the same workgroup. I have even tried the passworded option, creating user accounts on each PC then entering that logon in the pop up box that appears. No joy with that
I've also turned Windows firewall off on both, no luck...

Navigate to the folder you want to share.
Right Click => share....
Add the user account from the machine you're on and in the permissions column select co owner.
Should do it.
