I have a Windows Vista computer at work with 2 network cards. One network card is connected to a domain using active directory, the other is connected to essentially a home network with a workgroup name with mostly XP computers. Whenever I try to connect to one of the XP computers to get to their shared folders I get a message saying that the Vista computer doesn't have access rights to the XP computer. All of the XP computers can get to the shares of the other XP computers. The Vista computer has strong security set, the XP side not as strong. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi, These should help - it is usually easier to reset up a small network than it is to try to troubleshoot it.
