I have four networked computers, three of them run Vista and the fourth runs XP Pro.
I can see every Vista computer on each Vista computer, but cannot access them. File sharing is enabled on all of them. The XP computer does not show up in the network places window on any of the Vista computer, nor does it's IP address show up on my IP scanner.
The XP computer can see one of the Vista computers (not all), and it, too, has sharing enabled.
Three of the computers, two of my Vista computers & my XP computer, run Kaspersky IS 2009. The third still runs a trial version of NAV 2009. My router is a DLink XTreme N Gigabit router.
I was told that this problem stems from firewall configurations, or lack thereof, on each computer. I am unsure as how to rectify it.
I would like to be able to access data between all of the computers.
