Hi,
I'm hoping somebody can help me. I'm trying to file share between an xp and a vista laptop. the vista laptop can see the xp one but not the other way around. I have the lttd installed on the xp Laptop. When I click on network in the start menu in vista i can see the xp computer but when I double click on it, it gives an error message something like this:
error:800700...
The same happens when I click on the computer in the network map.I can play multiplayer games wirelessly between them and they connect ok but I can't file share which I need to do.
Hope someone can help(please ask if you need more info)
Thanks Daniel

I assume first of all that you have enabled file sharing on both machines.
Also I assume that you have given both computers the SAME workgroup name.
You should then make sure that the files and folders you want to share are actually in the shared documents or that you have manually shared them.
Then you need to make sure that you have a user account with the same credentials on each computer, I think that's about it
