Vista - WIndows XP/Vista Networking.

I tried most everything in this fourm and my vista machine can not ping my xp
machine, but at least my xp machine shows up in my network.

I spend all day and still no luck.

Kevin: I'm trying to reproduce your problem here and thus hopefully help you
out, but I'm missing some vital information.

1. is your XP computer running XP Home or XP Professional?
2. do you have Service Pack 2 installed on the XP computer?
3. what exactly does "xp machine shows up in my network" mean - where does
it "show up"?
4. what steps do you take to get the Error code 0x80070035 Network path was
not found?

5. If your XP computer has Service Pack 2 installed, check in the Windows
Firewall, Exceptions - does the File and Print Sharing item have a check
mark? If not, add a check mark, close the Firewall dialog box, then try
again from the Vista computer. If the File and Print Sharing exception is
disabled, the XP computer may not even respond to ping requests.

I can not use my wireless printer and I tried solution below but it did not
help? As did previous people, I picked my computer up Jan 30 and haven't been
able to print since... I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance...

I had a similar problem with my Vista laptop being unable to connect to my
XP desktop. Another post somewhere in the Microsoft forums suggested
enabling NetBIOS on the Vista machine (it's in the advanced settings of the
TCP/IPv4 protocol, under the WINS tab). That did the trick for me.

Thank you Bruce for ideals to check, One advice was to remove netbios from
the xp computer and a few other option. I tried what you asked and It still
doesnt work, Im seeing the xp home computer in the vista map fine but still
have a access issue both ways, Im still open for ideals, Im running two
systems connected to a hub, File sharing and printsharing is on the xp
computer, usb hard drive, usb printer and a lpt1 print both hps. a hard wired
network, I have even tried my laptop, but Im sure it will work fine because
its still xp

I had a similar problem with not being able to access Vista folders from Xp
machine, and running NIS 2007. I discovered that Norton was not the problem,
but a setting in the share properties.

1. Right click the Vista folder to share and Select share.
2. In the drop down box select All (everyone in this list) click add then
click share.
3. Also make sure Norton Firewall rulkes are set to allow all for Windows
File Sharing.

This worked for me wihout uninstalling or turning anything in Norton off!

After all the window vista recommended set up, I still had to go into Norton to allow port 137-139 for all my local IPs to get all working.
Now I am trying to get my friend's window vista that come with McAfee to do the same, but still have no luck.

I had a problem connecting to a shared printer on an xp XP machine.Came across this little gem which worked a treat.



Had the same issue and found the following solution. First install the driver off Samsung's website with out the printer connected. Once it is installed, go to the printer's properties and take note of the port that it is assigned. Mine was LPT1. Then in a command prompt enter the following:

net use LPT1: \\host\printer /persistent:yes

It should then reply "The command completed successfully". This command redirects the LPT1 port and directs it to \\host\printer. You should be able to print to network printer now.

If you want more info, google: Capture Printer Port

OMG Tammy and to all: this is the same thing with my Toshiba laptop running
Vista home Premium. What is going on here is it the Program it'self? I also
can not network a print thur my laptop, and can't print HORSE POOP..
