Okay, I am using tiger

I have been using an XP computer to transfer files from and to by using the following: Finder>Go>Connect to Server
Server Address: "smb://XP comp name/"
this would give me an option to select the shared folders on that computer, and then i would be able to see the contents of that folder
(note i did not have a password on that machine)


Now i recently bought a new computer with VISTA (which has a password on it)
.. When i try to connect to is by typing "smb://Vista comp name/"
It gives me File Sys Authentication:
"WORKGROUP"
Name "I presume its the username i use to log onto the vista computer"
Password "I presume its the password i use to log onto the vista computer"

i enter that information and it gives me
"Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured
(Error code ~50)."

Can someone please help me connect to the vista's shared folders
