Greetings,

I am new to vista and as the admin I have installed Vista on 'my' computers
before rolling it out.  RIght now I am having problems sharing files between
my Work Computer (which is part of a windows 2000 domain) and my Laptop which
is a member of my personal workgroup at my home.

When I try to access a share on the Machine that is a domain member I get
the error:  The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary
domain failed.  

But when I go the otherway around and connect from my PC (Domain) to my
Laptop (workgroup) I am prompted for username and password and everything
works fine.

Is there any way to fix this so that non domain members of a visiting
workgroup can access files and printers?

In this case, creating the same username and password on both computers.

Should it not prompt for username and password?

I understand that is how it works in a workgroup, but I am connecting to a
domain controlled PC.
