Vista Asks for XP PasswordI have 2 Vista machines and 1 XP (Pro) in a linksys network. While using
the 2 Vista machines, I can see the XP but when I try to map the XP drive it keeps asking for a password. I never set one on the XP machine. Any idea how to make this work? Do I need to setup an account on the XP machine? Thanks! You should assign a password to XP and create the same username on the
Vista.

assigning a password to xp won't work for me, for I need the xp machine to be start back up and execute my weather program in the event of a power loss or surge while I'm away. Somehow I need to be able to map the xp machine from the vista machine. Show quote "Robert L.
