Hi All

I have a file server with Windows Xp Pro on and when i try to access the shares from the Win 7 machine I can only access the shares that have permissions set to everyone.

The shares that I have changed so that only my username can access wont open on the win 7 machine.

I have the same account name and password on both machines.

Hope someone can help.

Graham

Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us all the time with computers and nobody thinks of complaining.

Did you map drive and use the map as user/pass?

Dunno why. This is for the other way around.
