This is because Vista is set to use a better encryption algorithm than
win2000. In order to access it, you will need to allow Vista to use the
older encryption.

- Click Start
- Click Control Panel
- Click System and Maintenance
- Click Administrative Tools
- Double-Click Local Security Policy
- In the left pane, click the triangle next to Local Policy
- In the left pane, click Security Options
- In the right pane near the bottom, double-click "Network security: LAN
manager authentication level"
- Click the drop-down box, and click "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session
security if negotiated"
- Click OK

Here I am assuming you are using Beta 2 and not the July CTP.

- Click Start
- Click Control Panel
- Click Network and Internet
- Click Network Center
- Look under the Network Details heading
- Look for the line that reads "Network Category"
- If this is not set to Private, click the Change to Private link to the
right.
- Look under the General heading
- Look for the line that reads "Discovery and Sharing"
- If this is not set to Allowed, click the Allow link to the right.

You can control how other computers access the shared folders on your Vista
computer from the File and Printer Sharing control panel.

Click Start
Click Control Panel
Click Network and Internet
Click Network File and Printer Sharing
