    Networking Vista to XP

    I have three computers on a LAN:

    Vista Home Prem
    XP Pro
    XP Home

    All computers show up in the network maps and all computers connect and
    share fine with the exception of the Vista computer to the XP Pro computer.
    Vista sees the XP Pro but can't connect. Error message 0x80070035-Windows
    cannot access \\43tXXX- The network path was not found. The XP Pro,
    however, connects and shares fine to the Vista.



    All computers are on the same network name, all have manually assigned IPs,
    the XPs have the LLTD patch installed, all connect to the internet through
    the same router, all are setup for sharing. What am I missing here?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    I have the same problem, I am not one of the experts here but it seems to me
    that MS have a Vista/XP compatability problem, a lot of pepole seem to have
    the same problem and as yet I have not solved it. However I have spent many
    hours trying and I have not given up yet. You might want to look at my post:

    "Vista network map shows XP PC's but not in network explorer" posted 9/4/2007
    It might jump you a little further towards a fix. Please let me know if sort
    it out.

    Thanks for the quick reply. From Vista, I can see all the PCs from the
    Network folder and the Network Map (including the problem PC, XP Pro). I
    just cannot connect to or browse the XP Pro machine from Vista. I'll do
    some more checking and if I find a solution or direction, I'll post back.

    Try shutting down the whole network then starting the Vista PC first, when it
    has finished boot up then start one of the XP machines

    Re: Networking Vista to XP

    Already tried that. The Vista machine stays on all the tome and the XP Home
    machine stays on all the time. The XP Pro machine is frequently turned off.

    No joy Robert. None of the 4 (in your link) cases seem to apply to me but I checked all the settings anyway but found nothing "apparently" wrong. I can ping all computers, file sharing is enabled, folder sharing is set, matching user names and passwords, etc. As I said, all computers can "see" each other on the network and all can connect to each other EXCEPT, the Vista can't complete the connection to the XP Pro. I've kinda run out of ideas so any more help is appreciated.

    Re: Networking Vista to XP


    Have you guys considered the fact that XP uses directx 9.0c and Vista uses
    directx 10? i have a home network established using an xp based system for
    the host in Internet Connection Sharing and Vista system as a client. Both
    computers can see each other in the network and can swap files at
    astonishingly fast speed between them over the gigabit connection. the two
    cannot connect to each other however due to the fact that the directx
    versions are different. You pretty much just need to confirm your basics for
    networking and as far as manual ip assignment..eh..i dont think thats
    absolutely necessary. As such, manual ip assignment was used for systems
    that supported the ipx/spx protocols. Vista, as we know doesnt. I am
    actively searching for a solution to this problem. I have found a link that
    shows how to convert 9.0c in XP to 10.0 using C++ registry writing but this
    is somewhat advanced for my nominal A+ skills. Good luck and hopefully this
    helps you.
