I have a vista laptop connected to a small office network, running peer to peer connections through a hub.

I cant get the vista network to connect to a windows 2000 pc - it sees all the workgroup pcs, sees the 2000pc, and asks for a user name and password to connect to 2000pc - vista then just says the password is wrong, but the same user/pass works from a XP PC.

I found a regedit trick on ms kbase kb239869 - has anyone done this and can show a screen shot of the settings as the registry set up is a bit confusing.

oh, file sharing is on, network discover is on, firewall off.

Any thing else I am missing? It seems pretty rubbish that i need to regedit a new O/S to get it to connect to anything really.

have a quick search on google for M$ vista xp network problem. I had the same fault and you need to download a file from M$ to the xp computer to enable both versions to see each other correctly

Do you mean to the win2000 pc? As the xp pcs are working fine.

Are you using default shares on the XP machines, or new shares?

not sure which shares you mean - the shared folders? just default then, but its not the XP machines I have a problem with. The vista machine cannot log on to the win2k machine. XP logs on to win2k fine.
