XP - Vista connection issue - logon screenTwo computers - 1 XP Pro SP3, the other Vista Basic.
They can see each other through a router, that's great. But, the XP machine always asks for logon credentials before the Vista computer can access the XP box. The Vista box doesn't ask for logon credentials of the XP box. Can someone please tell me how to defeat this logon screen, so that the Vista box can just connect without going through it. Thanks, Steve Create a user on the XP machine with the identical name and password as your
user account on Vista . (That use need only exist. It need not be the logged in account.) I'm keeping it brief for a possible simple answer first. If your XP PRO machine is set for simple file sharing there may be a guest account issue, but start with the above. -- Show quoteHide quote"Maincat" <steve@nospam.org.uk> wrote in message news:Osz71gP9JHA.4560@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > Two computers - 1 XP Pro SP3, the other Vista Basic. > > They can see each other through a router, that's great.

It could be that the XP computer logs to open shares in Vista so there is No need for logon. You have the set the XP to have None logon open shares too. Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party Firewall instructions.

I was thinking maybe its a local security policy item? Thanks, Steve Does the XP machine have a third-party firewall? Some of these will not
allow connections until the GUI is open (which cannot happen until a user is logged-on) Alternatively, try making the connection with a .bat file containing: net use driveletter: \\computername\sharename /user:username password Show quoteHide quote "Maincat" wrote: > Two computers - 1 XP Pro SP3, the other Vista Basic. > > They can see each other through a router, that's great.
