Mapping a Drive - Vista (laptop) to WinXP (Desktop)

I'm having major problems mapping a drive on my desktop (3 partitions
on desktop - C-JCC1, D-JCC2, E-JCC3) to my laptop. I'm running WinXP
SP3 on the Desktop and Vista (no SP1) on the laptop.

I have a home network setup via a Linksys 4-Port Router to have my
desktop and laptop share the Internet Connection. That works fine! I
need to share the E drive on the desktop with the laptop.

I have the desktop's E drive set to "Share" and the share name is
listed as "JCC3 (E)" in the share box. Both boxes are checked in the
Share Box. The Workgroup is the same on both machines.

I go to the laptop and attempt to Map a Network Drive and use the
"Browse" button to locate the drive to map to "Z" on the laptop. I
get an error on attempting to map;

\\Charlie\jcc3 (e) is not accessible. You might not have permission
to use this network resource. ..........
Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

And the drive is not mapped.

How do I resolve this problem and get my mapping accomplished?

Thanks
Charliec

Hi Charlie
Do you have Network Discovery and File sharing turned on?

I found it! On the laptop, Network Discovery and File Sharing are on.

Are you able to access the drive from the Vista machine?

No, when I try mapping the drive on the laptop, I get the error
message I stated earlier.

What I was asking is if the drive is shared on the XP side you should be able
to see and access it or folders within it from the Network page on Vista
without mapping it.

What I was asking is if you have shared the drive from the XP side, you
should be able to access it or folders within it from the Network page in
Vista.

Is "File and Printer Sharing" turned on on the XP machine? It shouldn't let
you create a share if it isn't, but Windows is freaky sometimes.
In the firewall settings on the XP machine, is "File and Printer Sharing"
checked in the Exceptions?

Ok, what I have done is - On the Laptop - use the Run command, enter
the IP Address for Desktop, a box comes up with the "shared"
facilities (drives, folders, printers). Clicking on the drive,
produces the error - not access.

Is that what you were looking for? (I must admit, I am not an expert
at this, so, some of my answers might not be up to you standards)

Hope that helps explain my situation.
