Re: Access denied: Is there a trick to connecting to an XP SP3 share from Vista?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

In most cases, net view will give you a system error. if it is 5, this could be permission issue. if it is 53, this could be firewall issue. If it is firewall issue, try to start XP sp3 safe mode with network for troubleshooting.

Hi,

I think you meant the other way around: ping SP3 from Vista (Vista is the connecting machine, SP3 is the machine with the shares I'm trying to connect to). And the answer is yes to the pings (both ways) but no to net view of SP3. Access denied. At least it's consistent.

BTW, as expected, a net view of SP2 works fine, showing the available shares.

If there is any difference between the way SP2 and SP3 are configured, I have not found it.

Do a simple test. Can you ping the Vista from XP sp3 using IP? If yes, do you receive any system error if using net view \\vistaipaddress?

I've tried everything I know and can find to solve this problem, but at this point I have to think this is either something too subtle or too obvious for me to see.

Did something change in the XP SP3 security model relative to Vista?

I have these machines: Vista SP1, XP SP2, XP SP3 (new, clean install, updated).

I can connect Vista to shares on SP2 all day with no problem.

I cannot connect Vista to any shares on SP3 ever, including "SharedDocs" or any that I create -- the very same shares I *can* connect to easily using SP2. Access is always denied using Vista, though.

** This tells me that something needs to be adjusted in Vista to deal with SP3, but I have no idea what. **

I've tried simple file sharing and not.

I've tried using passwords and not (and when "not," I did disable "Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only").

I've made very sure of my usernames and passwords and entered them correctly in Map Network Drive (don't forget, I can connect from SP2 just fine, indicating that both the shares and my credentials are good).

I've double-checked folder share permissions and explicitly added the appropriate accounts to the lists.

I've even tried matching the logged-in accounts between Vista and SP3 so that I'm using the same username/password on each.

The Windows firewall is disabled, even though it doesn't need to be (for one thing, by default it allows file sharing access, and for another thing, connecting with SP2 through the SP3 firewall works fine).

It's a new install, so there is no 3rd-party anything on it.

This is all wired Fast Ethernet, nothing exotic.

Thanks
