Vista file sharing problem

Asok · 2009-02-08 15:00:50

I have a network at home with a mix of Vista and XP machines, Suddenly one of the Vista pc's can no longer connect to any file shares on an XP pc, It just keeps bringing up the authentication prompt and even with valid details it does not authenticate. Anyone seen this before?

Apparently not uncommon.

Check some extra horrid Vista service or Firewall setting not turned on by an update.
