cannot connect to network drive vista to windows 7
From vista I am trying to map a network drive. I went to my computer and selected map network drive, selected a letter and selected a folder on the Windows 7 machine. I am asked for a user and password, I enter and select save password. If finds the folder and maps the drive. once that is done I now try to see the drive, selecting it I get "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I had this problem before and fixed it by added the user and password to something... Do not recall where. Any one have any ideas where I need to add this informaiton on my vista machine?
