Backup over network

I am using Vista Home Premium and am trying to backup to my old XP laptop
via a network. When I try I am asked for an ID and password. I have tried
all that are setup on both machines and get and I continue to get "No
mapping between account names and security ID's was done".
Can someone help me figure out what is going on.

Perhaps try changing

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies
\System]
"LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy"=dword:00000001
--
bc

How do you change that?

Regedit. If you haven't ever used that or are the least bit
uncomfortable messing around in the registry, don't do it. Find a
friend who can do it for you, and be sure they make a backup of the
registry first just in case. Changing the wrong thing in the registry
can totally hose your system. You've been warned ;-)

Its ok, got my answer, you cannot backup Vista to a shared drive on XP home,
need XP pro. It was designed this way.
