Hi guys,
In my network, I can access Windows XP shared partition from my Mac without any problem.
But I could not access Vista shared partition from my Mac.
Some time it shows the sharing PC in Network, and when I click to access it it said that the alias
could not be found.
And some time, it never shows.
I checked the workgroup and both is same.
From that Vista PC, can access my Mac very well without any problem.
But from my Mac, never can.
Any suggestion?

i had a similar problem , and i solved it by changing the "Computer Name" in windows because it was the same as my mac's name , so try to do that ..
also in vista in the network center -or whatever it's called i don't remember- try to mess around with the settings , coz u have to disable the password for file sharing ..

that's how i fixed my problem
hope this helps ..

I haven't try to disable the password for file sharing, how to do it?
Actually that Vista PC does not use any password.
I read there's ppl who ask to adjust the level of security in Vista to lower level, does this make sense?
I don't think so.

I've only been using Vista for a couple of days but I know what you're talking about. Go into your Network Settings (not sure on the exact name) but there should be a list of things that you can turn on or off for network sharing. At the top of this preference window should be a diagram showing your computer linked to the internet and to your network. Look at the list. Somewhere there should be one that's called something like "Enable file sharing password". Turn it off. As soon as I did this, my other network computers were suddenly able to use my printer. So there's a chance it might fix your problem as well.

If it doesn't then it's because accessing partitioned drives are not considered "network" behaviour.

That thing was "Control Panel\Network and Sharing Center"
I've try to find what you ask for, I remember last time I saw that but not this time.
Maybe there's setting somewhere to make it appear.
Until now I still could not access Vista partition.
Will try again and will inform here later.
Thnx!
