    I have a problem with my network location

    my network location on vista home laptop stays where it is but my computer
    with xp's home network location doesnt appear in the vista network and i get
    this error when trying to access my xp computer on the network with my vista
    laptop. however, when ever i connect my xp computer to my vista laptop with
    an ethernet cable and i do network set up wizard on the xp computer it
    temperarily connects to my network location but than when i unplug it after a
    while the network location on the xp computer disappears. both computers are
    in the same workgroup and can be seen. all i need to do is keep the xp
    computer in the same network location as my vista laptop so i can print
    through the workgroup.

    Re: I have a problem with my network location

    yes i can ping and what i forgot to mention was the error details. everything
    works fine when both computers are on the network its just that i need to
    keep my xp on my network. my vista laptop stays on the network just fine for
    some reason its the xp computer thats giving me the problem. when ever i try
    to access the xp computer i get this details- error code: 80070035 the
    network path cannot be found. if i solve this issue and keep it solved i
    should be able to print using shares again.

    Re: I have a problem with my network location


    I have had similar intermittent problems. I finally discovered the
    problem was in my Belkin gateway. Even though I had automatic update on
    the gateway/router, it was not up to date. The new firmware fixes
    several problems including the one that incorrectly indicates the
    firmware is up to date. With the new firmware, the problem has almost
    completely disappeared. Once in a while, one or more of the computers on
    the network "loses" the network but can still see and update network
    files. As soon as I reboot the gateway, the problem goes away. So, I
    suggest you try rebooting the gateway is you Belkin/Cisco gateway of
    router. If not, try it anyway, it's quick to do and may be the
    unsuspected cause.

    The latest Belkin firmware is on downloadable from their site
