I have an almost identical set-up to Bob Hobden's xcept that my laptop uses
Vista Home Basic. My problem is that I can not see any files or documents on
the laptop from my pc when I open "My Network Places", whereas from the
laptop I can access all files on the pc. The other problem is that although I
can use from the laptop the printer connected to the pc, I have to wait
minutes (!) before the printer is "ready".
The laptop has Symantec Internet Security and disabling that does not help.
I never had such problems when I used a laptop running XP!!!
