| | Re: i can see other computers but can't connect If you can see it but not access, it could be the permission issue. Make sure you have assigned permission in the Security tab. Or this search results may help.

| | Re: i can see other computers but can't connect i may be misunderstanding your response, but are you saying i should change permissions on the vista machine in order to connect to the xp machine? the xp machine is running xp home, so it is my understanding from reading this forum and the link you provided that there is no security tab there.
