    HI myself and a few friends hold gaming nights every now and then and we are slowly all getting vista on own boxes. The ones of us that now have vista seem to have trouble sharing files on our drive, i.e map packs for games and alike. Is there some setting there that we are missing?

    P.S this is on a local network

    Cheers

    Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html

    As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.
