Thanks man , u make my day. About the username and password issues , if u ve not set up any other username for that system, type Administrator for the username and for password type the password u ve given to the accessed system and if there is no password just press enter key. it will surely go through.

At the point where you say “now set the files to share and you can acess the files” Where is this done? What files and where are they?? What window are you seeing these files in?

I can see both of my pcs on each other. Now my problem is, when I click on either pc via each other it asks me to type in username and password. What is that? Is that the information that I use to login into each pcs. If so, I have done that. And it is not allowing me to see nothing still. It still wants the username and password.

i am using windows server 2003 as host machine where i published my website.
Now i am trying to access the website from xp client machine with the ip address of host machine. It is opening the login screen but after providing the username and passwrd when i click login button, it will not do anything. if i access the website through vista client machine then the site is accessible.

IP address of host machine is 192.168.1.100
IP address of xp client machine is 192.168.1.8
prefered dns server was filled on the client machine with……192.168.1.100
Plz provide me the solution

My problem is some different one. I already connect my Laptop (Tohiba L505 / Vista Home) & My PC (XP SP2) via ethernet port using crosswire cable. So I can see the shared files from eachother. So the problem is I can’t copy or move or Select shared files form other, side, The very firs second when i select a file from other side the “Explorer is NOT RESPONDING” and Stuck and after connection says “Limited or No connectity” Please help!!!!!!!.

@seyi your problem is that you are using the gateway 192.168.1.1 which doesnt let you share the internet connection. if you use 192.168.0.1 then it will work fine ( which it did for me ) so here is the setting for vista ip 192.168.01 gateway . 192.168.0.1 and for xp matchine use ip 192.168.02 and etc …

@pesu goto netwok connections then click set up home and small office network name your workgroup and in the process there will be an option to check ” enable file/printer sharing ‘ which is already enabled so dont disable it ( once i did it ) and the same prob happened with me that then the vista matchine cant access file of xp matchine
