Hello Hello
(not quite sure where to post this.. here or in the newsgroup?)
I'm having some issues with file sharing in a network with 2 Windows XP pc's and 1 Vista 32bit. One of the XP pcs has a McAfee firewall and the other XP and Vista have standard Windows Firewall
Since I updated to SP1, I am no longer able to access files on the XP pc's or vice versa (accessing Vista files on XP pcs).
Vista can detect both computers but when connecting to them, for example:
\\XP1\shareddocs
it says:
Windows cannot access (that location)
Check the spelling.. etc.. etc..
Same thing on the XP pcs.. "The Network path was not found" when trying to access \\VISTA\PUBLIC.
Tried to reset firewall settings on Vista (read that somewhere) but it didn't help.
The weird thing also is that.. when Vista is connected to the network, the XP pcs can no longer see each other anymore. When I check the workgroup nothing shows up except the machine itself. When Vista is disconnected, the other XP machine shows up again.
Both XP pc's have the LLTD installed (although that doesnt really matter in this case)
There aint that much information but I hope someone can help me, I'm desperately trying to get files transferred to my Vista laptop. I could use bluetooth but when the filesize is over 5 gb... well you get the point.
Thanks
