Networking Vista Laptop to XP Desktop I have a Vista Laptop wirelessly connected to a Linksys router which has an
XP PC hard wired to it. I cannot get the two computers to communicate with
each other. Each computer can see the other but they can't access each
computer's shared files. I believe I have followed on the necessary steps to
set up my network. On the Vista, I have set up a private network and network
discovery is on and the firewall settings allow for both. On the XP, I have
added the LLTD Responder. Both are also in the same workgroup.
When I run the Network Map on the Vista, I can see the icon for the XP PC,
but I cannot click on it. However, when I click on 'View Computers and
Devices', the XP does not show up, just the Vista. When I look at the
computers in the Workgroup on the XP, I can see the Vista, but I cannot
access it.
My desire of connecting the computers is to share photo files and allow the
Vista to access the printer on the XP.
Any help? Ideas?
Thanks. |
