You might want to "RUN..." Services.msc or look at services under MMC console and make sure that Remote connection manager and other remote and network services are all "started" and "automatic"... I assume that terminal services is on- not sure if it's needed but it seems needed for most network connections... You might also want to consider that maybe Vista disallows NOT having a password on a folder or computer and so maye you NEED to et up a password when you don't have one- remember that the Mac does this for certain programs, like Leopard Cache Cleaner or OnyX- one of those programs will only work with n admin account that has a non-blank password. If all elses fails you can install VNC client and server on all machines and use that, or use remote desktop sharing. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
