Thanks Eric...
I upgarded the host to XP Pro... turned off simple file sharing and gave
full contol permissions to "administrators", etc., and I get this error when
trying to run the back up from the notebook (Vista Home) to the usb drive on
the XP Pro box...
"The network share could not be accessed for the following reason:
No mapping between account names and security IDs was done. (0x800705534)"
What am I missing or doing wrong ?
