Hi
i have a vista ultimate and a XP pro computer, i wish to back up my vista (laptop) to my XP (desktop) through my wireless router.

i thought the first step to this was to get some file sharing going on. after reading up on the net (good ol' Google Wink

) i found this was not so easy. both computers are viable to each other but when i go to connect i get the following:

on XP (connecting to vista) \\**** is not accessible.you might not have permission to use this network resource. contact the admin of this server to find out if you have permissions. access is denied

On Vista ( connecting to XP ) \\**** is not accessible.you might not have permission to use this network resource. contact the admin of this server to find out if you have permissions. log on failure: the user has not been granted the requested log on type at this computer.

i have gone on the Microsoft help site with no luck

i am very new to networking so i dont understand any jargon as yet, but im willing to learn.

if you guys need any more info just ask and i shall provide you to the best of my knowledge

thanks in advance

P.S sorry for any bad spelling or grammar as it is late at night and i cannot think straight

On xp say you have an account with like:

useruser
passwordpass

make an account on vista (non limited/guest) with the exact information.

Also then make a network drive on your vista machine and then map a network drive on XP to that network drive.

Alternatively, I believe you can enable Guest access in Control Panel > Network option. (Don't know what the options are exactly, I don't have Windows installed anywhere.)

For XP: Just enable file sharing

For Vista: You will need to select Guest and make it have full permission and then make it as Co-Owner.
Selecting "EveryOne" will not work.

@Karakawe

both computers MUST have an account that is password protected.
