win 2000 sharing printer with vista

I have a network with win2000 and shared printer .My machine with Vista can
not see my network.

How do I set up access from the vista machine to the 2000 machine and
from the the 2000 machine to the vista machine?
thanks

Have a read of the above.

Make sure ALL computers have the same workgroup name

In vista Network and Sharing,
Turn on Network discovery
Network private
file sharing on, etc

Re: win 2000 sharing printer with vista

Can you ping the win2000 by IP? If yes, can you ping it by name?
