Hi! A lot of people are experiencing problems beteween Vista and Leopard when sharing files.
I know is easy to do but I think I'm doing something wrong.
Basically I have Vista 32 bit Ultimate on my desktop computer and a MacBook with Leopard 10.5.5
Vista can access, read and write on the MAC (even on the Vista partition I have on the laptop!)
The problem is with MAC now, I cannot find my Vista desktop, I tried with CMD + K (smb://(my Vista desktop IP here)
then asks for password ? wtf?
I dont have paswords on my Vista and non of them on Leopard as well

Any help?
Thanks!

*On Vista I had change this on the register (3 for 1)
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\

*On Leopard the file sharing box is ticked, used selected etc

*I'm using a Linksys WAG54G router

The reason you're being asked for a password when you try to connect to the Vista system is caused by a discrepancy in local accounts.

Lets say you're logged on the Mac as user 'Bob' with password 'Bobrocks'. The Mac machine sends this data to the Vista box which then references it with its own user accounts. If it does not find an account called 'Bob' it will send back a request asking you for user credentials to log into the Vista machine.

If I've understood your issue correctly, it should ask you for a username as well.

You are correct.

Just set up the same accounts on mac and vista (same username and password) and your credentials prompt will go away.
