I simply want to share a folder in Vista B2 to other computers on my local
network. In the past (XP & Win2K) I share the folder and assign permissions
to the share and the folder. I use the same account and password on all
machines and I am able to connect with no problems.

With Vista, this is not working. I've turned off every security setting I
can find and I'm still unable to connect. "\\Test01\Share is not
accessible, You may not have permissions...." "Unknown username or bad
password "

What in the world is necessary to share a #@%! folder on Vista and connect
to it from an XP machine? Just what do I have to do?

And why can't I access the advanced settings in network connections folder?
"Access Denied" ..

Microsoft has lots of things that work. Their support
website is not one of them. I don't understand why they
haven't fixed it, quite a pathetic thing. The largest software
company in the world, ready to make huge bets on web
based technology, and they can't seem to fix a simple posting
bug. Sad.
