windows 7 networking with Vista (need assistance)
Windows 7 desktop (computer A)
Vista desktop (computer B)

Need step by step outlined / understanding how to get windows 7 to not only see but connect to Vista desktop.

note1: both computers are on same workgroup (MSHOME).
note2: attempted from either station to connect A -> B or B -> A and was unsuccessful each time (access denied).

There appears to be some permission issues preventing this from working. I need to understand how to be at root (top) level to allow for steps you outine to work.

**Please don't spare any details in describing how this can work.

Thanks in advance!

I have found that if the same user names and passwords are on ALL machines, then they will talk to each other.

One does NOT have to be logged into the same account on each machine, the accounts just need to be there.
