    I cannot figure this one out, I'm hoping there may be a tip here....

    Following the directions here: Download details: Windows 7 & HomeGroup: Sharing with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and other operating systems

    The Vista machine can see my 7 machine, the 7 machine can see the Vista machine. If I click the Vista machine over the network from the 7 machine, I am prompted for a user and password, however, double-click the 7 machine from the Vista machine, and the user name and password prompt never come up, I just get some type of "access denied" you may not have permission kinda thing.

    I cannot figure this one out. Followed the instructions to the letter. Sharing files using homegroup on the 7 machine, just can't seem to dig through and actually get access.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.
