Shared Files On XP
Mar 23, 2008
I have set up a Network based on a Desktop Vista based, which includes a wireless to a laptop Vista based and a hard wired XP desktop. This was done to acquire old data files of the XP desktop and transfer to the Vista desktop. That has all been accomplished. Those files have since been removed from the XP but the shared folders still show up on the Vista Desktop and Laptop network. Is there a way to remove these folders from the Network since they no longer exist on the original XP desktop?

Network fully operational - Public Folder on Vista can be shared on XP - no problem BUT when I attempt to share another folder on Vista it requests username. Options include username on Vista, Guest, Everyone or Add name. It appears that Vista cannot see usernames on XP. Do I have to add these usernames to the Vista computer? I think the 'everyone' option applies only to 'Domains' which are not recognised on XP.

I have Vista x64 Ultimate on my desktop and Vista x64 Home Premium on my wireless laptop. I’m trying to share files and folders. I believe I’ve done everything I needed to enable file sharing on both computers. All my Sharing and Discovery buttons are turned on except Password Protect Sharing. I added “Everyone” to my sharing list on both computers. Both computers have the same Workgroup name.
I don’t know how to access the shared files/folders from either computer. All the web sites I’ve visited tell me how to enable sharing but none of them tell me how to access them. It’s probably a simple process but I can’t figure it out.

Trying to network XP pro with Vista Ultimate. I installed the LLtd Responder patch on XP. When i go to network map on vista I can see the XP machine but can not browse shared files or even click on the icon for it? I can't get the XP machine to see vista. Both have the same workgroup name. What am i doing wrong?

After months of diddling in an effort to access shared files on my XP computer from my Vista computer I was finally able to access the files using Windows Explorer after the final reboot after installing SP1. My glee was short lived however because after turning my Vista computer off and then on again I still cannot access the shared files on my XP computer. I can see the XP computer in "Network and Sharing Center" > "View Full Map", but I can't view the shared files by double clicking on the XP computer icon.
Network discovery - on
File sharing - on
Public folder sharing - on
Printer sharing - on
Workgroup is WORKGROUP on both computers I am able to access a shared printer on the XP computer I am able to access the shared files on my XP computer by using Internet Explorer and entering \Computername in the address bar. I am able to access a NAS drive on my network using Windows Explorer.

In the network connection sharing, i see both me and my wifes laptop on the full map on her computer and my computer. I can not accessed shared files or desktop remote connection. I do have file sharing on and both computers are set on the same workgroup. All firewalls are configured and i've tried it with all firewalls turned off (vista firewall and gateway firewall).

I can share a drive, no problem. No one can actually touch any of the data on that drive unless I specifically share each item one by one. Is there a way to share a drive and automatically have EVERYTHING on that drive be accessible to network users?

I tried nortons WinDoctor to help fix any problems with missing shortcuts, missing shared files, etc etc and my pc wouldnt startup the next time! It used to work really well with XP and never did XP not start after WinDoctor,it only speeded the pc up,in my experience.Im reluctant to "try" any other registry fixing software,unless there are some well known Vista registry fixing software that someone can recommend in here?

using the laptop through wireless I can see other computer and even list their shared folders but when I try to actually list files the connection timesout and gives an error os dennied access to the shared folder. If I try to use VNC for instance, the client connects, asks for pass and then after the remote screen starts to appear.. it hangs... no response after that . The strange part of the problem is that if I connect the laptop through a wired connection everything works ok I access shared folders, I print remotely, no problems. I tried a number of things , the most obvious, like firewalls diferent settings on the network etc. What I can't figure out is what can be so different in the PC for the wired to work but not the wireless.

I really don't know if the problem is with Verizon, Vista, MS, or something else, but hopefully someone has seen it: Friday, everything was fine. Monday afternoon, big problem. The only major difference was the Vista Service Pack 1 I ran this morning, so maybe that's it. I run the service pack on my Toshiba Satellite laptop (takes an hour or so). The next time I try to use the Verizon Versalink Gateway, it does connect my laptop to my Dell desktop (running XP), and I click on "access shared files". I open the C: directory on my desktop, and in a few seconds the status bar reads "179 items (Disk free space: 91.7 GB)." The problem is that a file showed up about every 15-30 seconds - for 179 files, it took 30 minutes until all files were visible in the panel on the right.
It "sees" that there are 179 files in the directory immediately, but the the dark gray bar CREEPS across the top of the screen, taking forever. If I want a file that starts with "w", I'd be waiting a half an hour for it. I'd be faster driving somewhere and getting two 5.25" floppy drives and installing one on each computer.

Problem:
1) Extremely slow shared printer response
2) application nonresponsive while printing
Network Topography:
1 Vista Home Premium 32 PC
1 Vista Home Premium 64 PC
Cisco SD2008 Switch
1 HP 4050 Laserjet (Parallel connected to Vista 32 Machine above)
Configuration of Printer:
Connected via parallel to Vista 32 machine
Printer is configured for sharing and is installed on both machines
test pages print successfully from both machines
Additional notes:
During printer setup on the Vista 32 machine, I attempted to install
additional 64x drivers, but could not locate them, so I skipped this step.
During printer setup on the Vista 64 machine, the shared printers were
identified successfully, and I added the network printer. I was not asked to
install drivers the way I have in the past when adding a local printer.
Printing using the shared printer on the local machine Vista 32 performs
with normal speeds. Printing from the network computer Vista 64 using the
shared printer installed on Vista 32 is extremely slow. Even typing in print
job changes in the print dialog window takes 30 seconds or so for each key
stroke to register a response onscreen.

I have 2 Dell laptops and I have connected them through cross cable. Now both are able to see each other, but not able to access the shared folder. I have tried changing the settings, but I am getting the same error that I do not have permissions to see the contents. The system whose IP address is 192.168.1.1 is Vista Home Premium and the other is Vista Home Basic. Both have McAfee installed. Do I need to disable it?

I can't seem to find a way to name a shared directory -- the only option seems to be to use the exact name of the dir. Is it possible to give a share a differnt name?

I am trying to organize the File and Printer Sharing on my home network, but I have one stubborn Vista PC (PC1) that can't access any of the network shared folders, or even it's own.
From PC1:
- Double-clicking on the PC1 icon in Network displays a "\PC1 is not accessible" error
- Typing \PC1 (or 192.168.x.x) into IE or Run gives the same error
- Clicking on "show me all the shared network folders on this computer" does nothing the point turns into circle for a few seconds but then nothing happens.
PC1 is running Vista Home edition
- Network Discovery is ON
- File and Printer Sharing is ON
- All computers are in the same WORKGROUP
- Password access is OFF
- Windows Firewall only (no Third Party Firewalls).

How do you get access to shared folders and printers on a wireless network?I've shared the folders on the desktop pc and set all the folders to be co-owned by everyone, the printer is shared yet Vista won't let my laptops can't open the folders or connect to my printer attached to the desktop.The laptops shows up on the network but I get is not accessible. You might not have permission to use the network resource.The specific network name is no longer available.They are all set to be Private networks and the workgroup name is the same on all computers.

I get following error message when at XP and trying to see a shared folder on Vista: "HPdesktop not available. You might not have permission." "Logon failure: user account restrictions. Possible reasons are passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions or a policy restriction has been enforced." I do not use passwords and have not set any hour restrictions, therefore, only thing remaining is policy restriction.

I have set several folders on my Vista machine to share, turned off Password Sharing (couldn't see anything with it on), set file sharing to on. In fact everything in the Network and Sharing Center is on except Password Sharing. Bit my Laptop can only see the public folder and an external drive I have setup to share on my Vista machine.

I have two computers, Vista Home Premium SP2 and XP SP2. Both belong to the same workgroup. Tonight I could see the XP computer from Vista. Then I rebooted the Vista computer and I can no longer see the XP computer's shared files. They are both connected via a linksys wireless router. I have Norton on both; both have the windows firewall turned off.

I have a Vista computer and an XP computer. Both are on a domain. I have an HP Laserjet 1018 printer attached and installed locally on the Vista computer. The printer is shared and is added to the XP computer. When printing from XP to the laserjet printer on Vista it acts like it goes..no errors but nothing comes out. However, if you restart the print spooler then the jobs start printing. The printer works fine when printing from the Vista machine but not when you try to print from other computers on the network. Anyone know how to resolve this without having to restart the print spooler all the time? Drivers have been reinstalled and that does not help.I also tried removing the printer. Re-adding it. Sharing it again and re-adding it to other hosts on the network....same issue.

I checked out many forums and seen many others with the same or similar problems. I tried all the suggested solutions with no results. I have a home network with 3 XP computers and a Vista laptop (Lenovo x60) running Vista Business. The network using both wired and wireless connections. I installed a NAS (Maxtor Shared Storage 2), and had to change the workgroup name (since the Maxtor could not handle the "@") character.
After I changed the workgroup name on all computer, the vista cannot find my shared printer, neither any of the other computers on my network. The XP machines do not see the vista either. I have internet access from the vista, but cannot print or do backup to the NAS. So far I tried:.................

I've got 2 Vista laptops. Both on Home Premium. One of them is sharing a usb Lexmark 8300 printer. The other one can see the shared resources and connect to that printer but it can't print. No error messages whatsoever. After printing a test page I can see number 1 next to the printer status but when I double click the printer the print job is not there. Both the computers are in the same workgroup. Both have Printer Sharing enabled in Network and Sharing Center. On the computer that's sharing the printer the Everyone group was given full access. All paper set to A4 on both of them.

I use Vista Home Premium. I have a network that connects one computer by cable and 3 computer by wireless. I also have a LaserJet 4 Plus. It has an adapter card that is connected to the router/modem by cable. I have gone thru the 'Add Printer' procedure several times. It 'finds' a TCP/IP 'generic adapter card and, after awhile, a list of printers is displayed. I select mine. Give it a shared name and click on 'print test page.' Nothing happens. I used to have a Netgear modem but switch to AT&T wireless router. I am unable to find a list of attached devices and their IP address.

We have a network domain, all XP pro compters, though the domain controller is NT. I have successfully joined this vista pc, and can 'see' all of the computers and servers on the domain, BUT cannot access any of the shared folders. Can't map to them which is what we usually do, can't browse to them, it asks for a username and password but will not authenticate using good credentials, actually will not even authenticate using the server credentials. I have exhaustively checked the network settings but do not know where else to look.

I have installed the printer on Vista, I have it selected as the default printer and it's status is Ready but when I print to it nothing happens, no error message or anything. This setup worked previously XP-XP, I replaced the remote XP machine with a new Vista machine.
