Problems viewing & accessing files on other PC

Hi,

I've no problem connecting my Vista Home Premium to my LAN. Workgroup had
been configured similar to my existing workgroup.

Gateway map shows the workgroup and other computers.

But I cannot see the other computers when I select view computers and
devices on the Network & Sharing Center, thus not able to share files. I've
already enabled the network discovery. Network printing was not an issue at
all.

Appreciate some help.

Thanks.

Robert, I'mhaving the same problem but can't see your "link" that you are
referring to here. What is LLTD? Thanks!
