    I have set up a network between my Vista PC and AAO XP. I can share folders on the C drive of the Vista PC using Share - Everyone, but on my external hard drive and DVD drive the Share button is greyed out. The dialogue box shows Shared and the network path, but only Advanced settings are available. I can now see the folder I want to share on the external drive, and the DVD drive on my AAO, but I am denied access. Windows OneCare is running on both systems, and I have print and file sharing set.

    Any help much appreciated!
