Post subject: ME/Vista network problem
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>networking_sharing, others (more info?)

I have a small home network that has worked fine with 2 ME machines for
quite a while. I replaced one of my machines with a Vista machine. The
Vista machine works fine seeing and logging on to the ME machine but the ME
to Vista has problems. The ME machines sees the Vista machine but when I
click on the Vista machine I get this message:

Enter Network Password

You must supply a password to makes this connection

Resource \\Comp2\IPC$

Password

Comp2 is the Vista machine.

I can't figure out what the password should be nor how to set up one.

I have password protected off on the Vista machine.

Any help would very much be appreciated.

Try creating a user on Vista with the same username as that in use on Win
Me.

I have created the same user on both machines with a password but that has
not helped.

Are you logged on to Win Me as that user?

Yes. I don't know what is wrong.

I don't think ME can read NTFS.

That's correct but when sharing files it is the host machine that handles
the file system not the client. For example think how many web sites that
you visit are running on Linux but this doesn't stop you viewing them from
a PC that knows nothing of the Linux file system.
