    Hi, I have two computers - XP desktop and Vista notebook, both connected to the router.

    I can see both computers in the network.

    From my XP machine, I can access the Vista folders.

    From my Vista machine, I can see XP but when I try to access it, it asks for my username, domain and password of my XP computer.

    I don't have a password and tried the name of the user (i.e. Administrator), name of computer, etc. No use.

    How can I fix this? Many thanks for your help!

    Try enabling the guest account on your XP machine.
