Vista - Vista & NT

03-13-2008

I know windows NT is ancient, but that is what the boss has on the "server"
computer.
I can't seem to get the Vista computer added to the network. We have the NT
computer as the "server" for the printer. The other two computers are
supposed to send our print items to the NT computer, which sends them to the
printer. The vista computer wont even acknowledge the network.

Any suggestions (other than replacing the NT with a newer version)?

Thanks!

To join Vista to a NT domain, you may setup WINS server. Alternatively,
enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
