| Vista Ultimate 32bit | Mapping Drives with Vista and XP Pro SP3 Hi, I have a little problem and hope someone can point me in the right direction. Here is my situation and problem : 3 Computers on the Network ( all same subnet and workgroup ) : 2 x Win XP Pro SP3 Computers 1 x Win Vista Ultimate SP1 I have on my Vista machine a mapped drive to one of the XP machines and everything works just fine. Shows up in Vista Explorer, no problems at all. Now I wanted a second mapped drive to the second XP computer and I can't map the drive at all. When I open Network and sharing Center and click on "View full map", the computer name of the second XP computer shows up, but I can't see the drive and can't map it. However, this second XP Computer is perfectly able to access my shared Vista drive without a problem. So the network configuration should be fine. So, I can see and map in Vista Explorer ONE WinXP computer, but not the second one. Any ideas ? PS: ALL computer have all available updates installed and are up-to-date. It seems like on the second computer, a service or something isn't running, and therefore not allowing my Vista computer to connect. But what service could it be ? Thanks for helping ! Cheers, JCE |
