VHP and Windows Server 2000

Hi,

I have 5 new Vista Home premium computers that I am having difficulty
networking to my server (Windows 2000 server) and also I'm having difficulty
having the vista computers communicate with each other. Already know not to
set it as a domain through active directory, they are already set as
WORKGROUP and I'm still having difficulty.

Thanks In Advance!

If you'll post a message describing the difficulty you're having, I'm
sure that someone can help.

How have you configured the Vista computers for networking? What
works? What doesn't work? What are you trying to do, and what
exactly happens when you do it? If there are error messages, what do
they say?

I see there have been a few posts in regards to this issue on this site under slightly different headings. I am having the same problem and have tried several fixes suggested by various sites including Micosofts Vista support. None of them have worked (Registry edits, Server name login, etc.). My Vista Home Premium connected just fine until about two weeks ago. On boot up it would not always recognize networked drives (it did recognize 3 out of 4) but I could double click the unconnected drive and it always opened up. Somewhere in the last couple weeks there was an update to Vista (the W2K server is not set for updates and is at SP3). Now all of the networked drives require login and an error ststing the login is incorrect comes up. I can remote into the server with the same login just fine but I cannot acces the mapped drives. We have several different OS's connecting to this server just fine and I can log onto shared drives on those computers but not the Windows 2000 Server. Again there have been NO changes to the W2K server system but the Vista has had changes. I ran SP1 early this week to see if that would help. No change. I have spoken with a couple other people who are experiencing the same thing with Vista HP and W2K Server.
