Hi there ChesterBSeverance,

If I understood correctly, you are trying to access the computer via a network and it results with the 'Access denied' error.

First of all, instead of browser, try using your Windows explorer.
Another important thing is – make sure you're entering the correct IP address of the computer you're trying to access.

If none of that works, something is wrongly configured on your Vista and you will need to reconfigure sharing options there. Right click on the C: drive, choose 'Share…' option and go through all settings once again making sure you're allowing full access to your computer.

Best regards,
Drake Vivian
