Which user/pass to use for shared disks/folders?

I'm an experienced Windows user, but I just can't figure this one out.  I'm the sole 
user and administrator on my 4 computers (3=XP Pro, 1=Vista Premium Home), and I 
also have Network Attached Storage and a Network Attached Printer.

 I have plenty of shared drives and folders and printers -- most of them with full 
access privileges -- but while some of them work perfectly as expected, some of them 
do not!

My big problem right now is the username and password prompt that comes up in Vista 
(at least) whenever I try to use most any shared folder/drive, even those that I 
gave full access rights to.  No matter what I try, Vista keeps telling me I've entered 
the wrong user/pass!  I've tried the Windows logon user/pass and every other user/pass 
I can think of, but no dice, even though I'm the only user and admin of all the machines!

Help, please?
