| | Re: Problem networking XP & Vista Jack, thank you for your interest. I did what you suggested and it changed the problem. This time it went down a black hole; as viewed on the Lap Top it appeared to print but nothing was seen on the old PC.

| | Re: Problem networking XP & Vista Robert, thank you. All the Net View commands worked without error. In each case they listed the target machine's shares and when it was by name the user machines name for those resources was also listed. "Robert L.
