Use to be comfortable using NEW USE to connect and disconnect my two computers until purchase of new Dell 546.
LAN hard wired behind a Actiontec M1424WR. Two computers, a Dell 546 running Vista Home Premium 64 bit with the MS Firewall active and a Dell 8300 running Windows Home Premium and Comodo firewall. I can communicate both ways using Run URL address or better yet Map using Explorer where all my partitions are visible to select. On the Vista computer Network Discovery has been turned on along with all sharing except password Protected Sharing. On the XP file sharing permitted and use to work fine with my old 8100. Both Workgroups are named MSHOME.
So what's my problem, I cannot automate using NET USE x: \\computer name\partition password from either machine. Turning off both Firewalls does not change any of the above.
