Mapping a drive Vista32 to Vista 64
Ihave a puzzler. I have sharedthe c drive on my desktoprunning Vista 64 andon my laptop Vista 32 I can only seem to map a drive letter under one user account.
Onthedesktop the drive is shared for "everyone" with all permissions, read write etc. When I log on to my laptop I canmap a drive letter with no problem from my user account however from the other account I get an error "Login failure: the user has not been granted the requested login type at this computer."I can map the drive from this user account ifclick "connect using a different user name". I have been chasing this problem for days with no solution.
What gives?

Hi Geno,
Thank you for posting.
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
1. Disconnect Network drive on all accounts.
2. Re-configure the sharing.
3. Map the drive again on the accounts one by one.
Meanwhile, I would also share the following documents with you. Hope they are helpful:

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
