| | XP - Vista Networking problem I have a Desktop running XP - SP3 wired to a Linksys wireless router. My Vista laptop is wireless. I can connect to the Internet fine from either machine. I can see and access the laptop from the desktop but I can't see the desktop XP machine from the Vista laptop. I went through this same thing with my network up north but now that we've moved back to Florida I've got the same problem. McAfee network management shows both machines on the network but I can't access shared files and printers from the laptop. I know there are some settings I need to make to the Vista laptop but I can't remember what I did to get it working up north. Can anyone help? Thanks, Rick |

| | Re: XP - Vista Networking problem Thanks, I have the McAfee Firewall turned off on both computers with only the Windows firewall running. I can ping the Vista portable from the XP desktop (192.168.1.101) but I can't ping the desktop (192.168.1.100) from the Vista laptop. I'm pretty sure I have enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP. I also tried disabling the SPI Firewall in the Linksys router but no help there either.

| | Re: XP - Vista Networking problem What happens when you search for the desktop from the laptop? You should be able to search for it with "\\machinename". Try temporarily turning off the XP firewall and make sure the McAfee firewall is really turned off--sometimes getting AV firewalls turned off can be problematic. Also, ensure you really aren't running any other security programs on the XP machine. XP should be the easier to see from Vista then the other way around, so something is not set up correctly on the XP machine. Also, make sure the workgroups are the same and that you have checked your networking assignments on both. If either is set for a manual IP and the range is wrong, things get go wrong.
