[delboy13]

i have 2 pcs xp wired to router and vista wireless. i have mapped a drive on my xp enabled file sharing.but on my vista i can see my pc and when i click on it.it says check your spelling or network problem in details it says access denied.my pc name is showing as right so cannot be spelling.when i diagnose it says nothing wrong with network. i have also turned firwall off made no difference.

last time i used a software to map my network but can not remember the name of it

Try Network Magic m8, its good software for sharing files on a network.

I had this problem too and found some reasons why it was doing that. First, the user needs a password in order to connect to a network computer, so create passwords for both computers users. Second, you could type the ip address of the computer you want to connect to in Explorer (In Address bar type "//IPAddressOfComputerYouwantToConnectTo" without the quotes.

Hope this helps.

Have you got 2 passwords on your router eg:guest ***** - admin *****.
When you connect to your router try using the admin password and trying it then.
