XP to Vista Networking Issue

Im sure this has been brought up 100's of times but I cannot find anything
matching my problem. I can see my XP Drives from Vista, and I can even see
my Vista Drive from XP but when I try to network it (goes slow) it takes but
when I try to access my Drive from XP via network It "Not accessible" Access
is denied. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: XP to Vista Networking Issue


I have the same problem.
Connection between 2 PC with WinXP und 1 with Vista has been perfect.
Now the connection from PC with Vista to the others is ok, but no connection
from WinXP to Vista is possible. All rights are given as before, no changes
in Vista.
Connection from WinXP to WinXP is normal.

Re: XP to Vista Networking Issue

Assuming you have enabled the sharing on Vista, can you ping it by IP from
XP?

No ping from WinXP to Vista, but positive ping from Vista to WinXP. Sharing
is enabled.

Re: XP to Vista Networking Issue

Re: XP to Vista Networking Issue

Sorry, the reason for the trouble was the firewall of the new bitdefender,
not Vista.

Re: XP to Vista Networking Issue

Hi,

I'm no doubt in the wrong place, but I'm at my wits end. I have a long
established Workgroup network. I have four systems connected to the network
at this time. Win98, 2000, and XP Pro all play nicely together. I just
purchased a new system with Vista Business (4th). I can't network the damn
thing to save my life.

2000 and XP Pro can both see the Vista machine, but not connect (98 is off).
Neither can ping Vista. The Vista machine can't see anything (it could see
the router for a time,but no longer can), however it can ping the other
systems. I've added users to Vista, created shared folders. Turned the
firewall off. Vista has sucessfully secured the system from it user.

For what its worth the network has no access to the internet, by design.
