You might try this:

"Error message when you try to access a mapped drive that is mapped to
a Windows XP-based computer from a Windows Vista-based computer:
"System error 5 has occurred""

<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947235>

Other that that, I'm clueless.

HTH,

John tired to tell you to disable the simple file sharing this is ho
you do it.

By default, workgroup computers have simple file sharing enabled.
Domain computers always have simple file sharing disabled.

On the home XP Pro machine, go to Control Panel > Folder Options >
View, scroll to the end of the list of Advanced settings, and un-chec
simple file sharing.

This solve the problem

Many thank
