| | Vista can't discover other machines xp and vice-versa I have a lan with 3 xp computers shared and working correctly from always. Now I installed another new computer with Vista Bussiness atached to that lan. Problem is that Vista do not discover other computers on the lan and that others do not see also the vista. But Vista can connect to Internet without problems. I executed a ping from the command to another computer and no problem. I do not use user accounts for any. Folder Sharing is activated c: disk shared is activated Name group is the same of other computers IP family and masks are identical (I tried temporaly to disconnect the firewell to test but no results) What I am missing? Thank you in advance. |

You are not alone. I am experiencing the exact same problem. I can ping the server with the ip address but not the server name though. I have also disconnected the firewall to see if that worked and it did not. I tried a wired connection to the router as well as wireless. |

| | Re: Vista can't discover other machines xp and vice-versa Try turning off your firewall(s) (if you reactivated it/them, all networked computers) and reboot vista machine. Open your network link again. Should now be able to see other machines. Your router should protect you from intrusions.

The only thing installed on XP when I ran that kb was the discovery driver. No responder was installed by it on the xp nodes. Vista does however have both. no firewalls active on any node. Obviously so many people with the same issue can't be mere coincidence. lol |
