I have a printer a few folders shared on an XP desktop. I can connect to each of them just fine with any other xp computer or laptop, but vista can't connect. I get a \\COMPUTER-NAME is not accessible... access is denied, when i try to view the shares from the network menu. It doesn't even let me see what is shared. No other computer has a problem viewing these shares. Also, I can view the vista shares from this xp computer.

Same account on both computers, same password. firewall disabled on both sides.
