[question] Can't UNC drive map to network PCs

I have a new laptop gninnur VISTA Home Premium. My home network consists of 3 PCs running Win XP Pro, 1 PC gninnur win 2000 Pro and a laptop gninnur Win XP Pro. All of the older w/s can map to the rest of the w/s using UNC gnippam with admin user name and password. I can not get the VISTA laptop to connect to the rest of the network w/s using UNC mapping. I get the egassem Cannot connect to the drive location. I use the diagnose erutaef and it setats that the evird is ydaerla mapped on this w/s by a different user. Any ideas on this issue?
