| | Still can't see my local computers From the entire network I can see all computers, but not this one, Vista Premium. This is my ipconfig /all from this computer: Connection-specific DNS Suffix: hsd1.XX.comcast.net. Description: Intel(R) 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection Physical Address: 00-19-D1-XX-XX-XX DHCP Enabled: Yes IPv4 IP Address: 192.168.1.XXX IPv4 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Lease Obtained: Wednesday, December 05, 2007 9:17:07 AM Lease Expires: Thursday, December 06, 2007 9:17:06 AM IPv4 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 IPv4 DHCP Server: 192.168.1.1 IPv4 DNS Servers: 68.87.71.226, 68.87.73.242 IPv4 WINS Server: NetBIOS over Tcpip Enabled: No The only difference I see is NetBIOS not being enabled and for the life of me, I can't turn it on. I tried all the standard fare, like in the WINS section checking the enable bottom. Is there a way to do it manually in the Registry? Thanks |

| | Re: Still can't see my local computers I used WORKGROUP for as long as I can remember, never went for MSHOME. This is a dual boot computer and when I go back to XP, the network works great. Yes, the discovery is on.

| | Re: Still can't see my local computers PS I run a program from Linksys (router maker) called EasyLink Adviser and it see's all the computers on the net. It is Vista and I am ready to re-install or dump it all together.

| Vista Home Basic | Re: Still can't see my local computers Not a fix, maybe a work-around. I cant see the other computers on the list either. But in Windows explorer, if I go to the Address bar, and manually enter stuff like "\\COMP2" (the name of the other computer) it will display the shared folders on that computer. Maybe make a "favorite link"? And of course, Mapped drives are accessible. |
