| | Networking VISTA & XP I am having a problem viewing and accessing my XP machines from my VISTA machine. I have read all the threads and have tried it all. My host computer is the VISTA computer, and my other two are XPs. I have a wireless router and can access the intranet through them all. The two XP machines can see the VISTA machine, but the VISTA machine can not see the XP machines. I have I have updated the XP PCs with LLTD protocol as suggested I'm using the same Workgroup name at both machines. In Vista, I have - Network Discovery: ON, Network type set to Private, Media sharing:ON, File Sharing: ON, and Public Folder Sharing: ON I have been working on this for hours and hours. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I am no computer expert, but do have some experience. I even contacted the router experts who helped me set the network up, but stated they were not allowed to assist with file and printer sharing - they are only allowed to help you get the intranet connected. |
