>> Vista Business and XP Pro

>> Initially, my new Vista computer could access my wireless router but

>> My solution:
>> 1) Make sure that all computers are in the same WORKGROUP
>> XP (or Win98) used MSHOME as the default workgroup name
>> Vistia uses WORKGROUP as the default workgroup name
>> Therefore, on the Vista I changed my workgroup name to MSHOME
>> (Control Panel\System\Change Workgroup Name) -OR-
>> (Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Sharing Center)
>> 2 ) On the Vista Computer one must also TURN Network Discovery ON
>> (Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Sharing Center)
>>
>> Not all hardware can be "seen" by all.

That "patch" doesn't really "fix" the networking problems
most users have experienced. You do *not* need that "patch"
in order to network Vista and XP machines.
In fact, adding the Link-Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder component
to XP will just add unnecessary fru fru traffic to your network.
