| vista ultimate x64 | connecting to a vista computer on home network Just installed Vista x64 on my HTPC and now I am trying to set up home network to connect two or my laptops to a network printer, which is connected to the HTPC and now running x64, and of course there is a problem. Both of my laptops can see each other, no problem, and they can see my HTPC on my Workgroup, but they cannot get in to it. And of course, they don’t see the printer. The HTPC itself can see everything (both laptops) and folders on there, no problem. I have switched on all possible settings in Vista Network menu. Restarted…. Few times… no difference…. Any idea what can be done? |

| vista ultimate x64 | Re: connecting to a vista computer on home network Thanks for that. I will look it through. At the same time, there is no firewall. I've switched off brandmauer and switched on all possible settings to allow outside computers get into it. No change!!! Have no idea!!!! |
