I have a dcs950G and when I did a file share with XP the camera worked, i just had the camera point to \\192.168.0.65\TOM for my XP machine...

Now when I do this with vista it doesn't work :(. My Vista computer is 192.168.0.66 and I just did the \\192.168.0.66\TOM and I get a network failed.

It isn't a router problem and I disabled firewall on the vista computer. The folder is public with properties, share???

Help please :)

I forgot to mention I tell the camera the direction of the public folder, not vice versa :)

UAC may be the culprit here.

Try disabling it temporarily to see if you can make the transfer across the network.

Click "start" > "control panel" > "user accounts" and you will see the option to turn UAC on or off. Reboot. UAC can be turned back on using the same method.

If you find that you can now work with your camera in vista you can try fine tuning UAC. This way you might be able to keep the added security UAC offers and work with your camera at the same time.

If after this you still get the "network failed" message it might pay to ask the question in the networking forum. I'm sure they will be of greater help there.

i hate vista...is that true that it cant be totally uninstalled from the computer? because i bought my laptop with it already installed...i have no program with which i can watch dvd films, cause or the sound is not going or the picture is late...and I CANT PLAY SIMS 2...can it be because i have amd mobile sempron, and the sims is going only with intel...or it s not true...pls help!!! thanks...kinga
