I have a private network on my home LAN, I use PPS and it works. When I first setup up folder sharing, I read up about it and followed the instructions from this MS TechNet article:<br /> <a href='http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx'>http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx</a></p> <p>This article talks about "simple file sharing" where you turn off PPS and use a Guest account, but I haven't tried that. Either way, that article is the best description of Vista file (and printer) sharing that I have seen. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/network-problem-on-vista-home-premium-please-help#post-21688 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 08:00:01 +0000 hellfire666 21688@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Im sorry about my language It will never happren Again</p> <p>Yes I can Share network folders between any of the other systems </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/network-problem-on-vista-home-premium-please-help#post-21294 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:49:35 +0000 ScottW 21294@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@hellfire: please remove the curse words from your post. It's against the forum rules and there are no age restrictions here.</p> <p>I was disappointed, too, when I found that Home Premium could not act as a Remote Desktop server. They want you to buy Ultimate. There is no way that I know to install it separately.</p> <p>As for the network file sharing, it's not a bug in Vista but the added security makes it more difficult. Some people bash Vista for a perceived lack of user-friendliness and others bash MS for poor security. Problem is that these 2 goals are in conflict. Anyway, I have a home network with Vista Home Premium, and I can share folders around so it does work. We just need to get your settings right.</p> <p>You never answered this: can you share network folders between any of the other systems? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/network-problem-on-vista-home-premium-please-help#post-21245 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 11:09:56 +0000 hellfire666 21245@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>yeah All the PCs are In the Workgroup - homenet</p> <p>yeah all Pcs have Passwords But i turned off PPS on all Vista OSs</p> <p>and @ScottW-damn I didnt knew that home premium cant be Remorte Shit I hate Microsoft<br /> any way to fix this i mean like a registry hack or sme thing u guys ar preetty goood at these stuff :)</p> <p>I have a tried turning off all the Firewalls and Defender and all my Vista PCs Network type IS set to Privet</p> <p>or is it a sme kind of a bug In Home edition of vista Should i upgrade ? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/network-problem-on-vista-home-premium-please-help#post-21238 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 08:40:35 +0000 ScottW 21238@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Guys, the OP said in his first post that he turned off firewalls and Windows Defender.</p> <p>@hellfire: pipo asks a good question, do you have password-protected logons on any of these systems?</p> <p>Can any of the other systems share network folder, for example, between PC 1 and PC 2? Are all systems set to the same Workgroup? Vista is picky about the Workgroup name, and it will go smoother if they all match.</p> <p>As for Remote Desktop, you can't remote <em>to</em> a system with Vista Home Premium, but you can remote view or control <em>from</em> it. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/network-problem-on-vista-home-premium-please-help#post-21233 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 06:50:03 +0000 pipo 21233@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>try Smashpmk712's suggestion with the firewalls. do you have login screens for all the computers, ie. do you use a password to get into windows? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/network-problem-on-vista-home-premium-please-help#post-21230 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 06:12:15 +0000 Smashpmk712 21230@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>you might try for testing turning off the windows firewalls </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/network-problem-on-vista-home-premium-please-help#post-21227 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 05:33:27 +0000 hellfire666 21227@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>and there is no Recovery Drive this is a Custom built PC :) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/network-problem-on-vista-home-premium-please-help#post-21226 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 05:32:22 +0000 hellfire666 21226@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>D drive IS the second HDD partision that My dad USe for DATA storing </p> <p>and I put fullControl for every one In the permissions dialog</p> <p>Please HElp me </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/network-problem-on-vista-home-premium-please-help#post-21058 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 17:22:42 +0000 Smashpmk712 21058@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>What are the permissions like on the shared drive? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/network-problem-on-vista-home-premium-please-help#post-21056 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 17:14:37 +0000 Lighthouse 21056@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>And it can be another system partition, or data partition, or another hard drive. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/network-problem-on-vista-home-premium-please-help#post-21051 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:54:42 +0000 sparky7415 21051@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I suppose D: could be a cd rom drive as well,it's my DVD/RW on this computer. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/network-problem-on-vista-home-premium-please-help#post-21050 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:45:47 +0000 Lighthouse 21050@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@sparky.
