I made my PC the administrator, then I could connect fine. Mine has the
Vista on it, and the other PC has XP on it. Forget trying to hookup a
printer, because unless they have come out with an update on this problem
that I don't know about, A vista computer networking with a XP OS with
printer, it will not print. I can get internet ok, just cannot print
anymore, and I worked on this problem for about 2 weeks, to no avail I
finally gave up, I am looking to buy a printer for the Vista PC and be done
with it.
