| | Network runs fine with open security and not with security I have a wireless network of 4 computers. 2 x XP desktops 1 x XP laptop and a new Vista desktop. These are networked via a Belkin router. I have absolutely no problems with the network when it is open, however as soon as I enable security settings I encounter problems. The printer (which is conected to the Vista machine, although visible, is not able to be accessed by the XP machines, both Vista and XP machines although showing that they are able to access files on each other do not. As soon as I disable the security settings and become an Open network straight away all three XP machines can print through the Vista machine and I can access and move files around the network no probs. I have had the Vista machine for 9 days now and have spent about 6 hours each day attempting to sort one problem after another out, I have had it back to the technicians at the shop twice for them to resolve simple problems for me and I am getting very frustrated by this whole Vista thing. Help me please someone, I know a little but thats all. |

| | Re: Network runs fine with open security and not with security The FIRST thing I would do is disable my firewall to see if that's the problem.

| | Re: Network runs fine with open security and not with security This does not answer my question sorry, I have configured everything as per the suggested web sight and it all works fine in an open network. I want my network to be private and secure so I opt for WPA-PSK (AES), when I do this I cannot share files or my printer with other computers on the network and visa versa.
