Hi
ISTM that the same error message is displayed for
different error conditions (Now, that IS an
annoyance - Microsoft please take note!!!!)
Much of this thread is about not being able to connect
to the computer. But for me, it was a remote directory
that gave the problem. I could connect to the XP
computer OK, but I got so far down the directory
tree when I got the ubiquitous message.
> THIS IS MY SITUATION:
Two computers running Vista being denied access to a
folder on a third computer running XP Pro. File and
print sharing turned on. Folders are shared.
> DIAGNOSIS
Must be a problem on the XP computer :-)
> ACTION
This is what I did to cure the problem:
1. In explorer, navigate to the point where you can
see the icon for the folder refusing permission.
2. Right click on the folder icon and select SHARING.
3. Just over half way down on the right, click
PERMISSIONS
4. Make sure there is a group called "Everyone" in the
top pane and that they can do to the files whatever
you want them to do. If the group isn't there, click ADD :-)
I hope this is of some help to someone :-) :-)
