Re: Windows Vista Home Premium & Network Drives

Can you ping each other by IP? If yes, can you ping by name?

Hi,

I have recently had to upgrade my laptop and it came with Vista Home Premium
Installed. My other laptops on the home network use XP at present. I am
having great difficulty mapping network drives and network storage devices as
they do initially seem to connect, then all I get is a red cross and a
message to say the path or network drive cannot be found. I am at my wits
end, can anyone advise me or should I go back to XP?
