So I just did a fresh install today of Vista on my laptop. My desktop is running XP.
My problem is that I cannot access the administrative share c$ on my desktop from my laptop. I even had to do god knows what to get it to give me a listing of public shares on my desktop.
Before I got vista, this worked fine. And right now I'm able to access the shares on my laptop from my desktop, and shares from my laptop to my other computer (running win 2003).
When I do \\desktop\c$ it gives me the username and password prompt, to which I enter the administrative credentials of my desktop (shared by laptop).
I have a linksys router, no domain, and both computers are in WORKGROUP.
