I'm trying to get Vista Home Premium to show a complete network map and
getting some strange results. The lan consists of one Vista computer (wired or wireless connection and also tested with both simultaneously) and two XP Home computers, one wired and one wireless. The XP PC with the wireless connection is the problem device. The LLTD software has been reinstalled on it and two different USB WLAN adapters were tried. Security settings used were WPA and WPA2, with the same results for either. Scenario 1 When just the Vista PC (wired) and the wired XP PC are connected on the network the mapping function works normally. As soon as the wireless XP computer is added the network mapping function fails with an error " An error happened during the mapping process". Disconnect the wireless computer and the map works again. This is my default configuration and the one I'd like to get sorted out. Shouldn't all computers be displayed here regardless of how they connect to the LAN? Scenario 2 When the Vista PC is connected to the Lan wirelessly both the XP wired and wireless computers show up on the network map. Strangely, device properties are accessible from the various hardware icons on the map except for the wireless XP Home PC wireless icon which isn't clickable at all. Scenario 3 When the Vista PC is connected using both the wired and wireless connections, network mapping pops up a new option allowing me to switch between the two connections but then it responds in either one of two ways.... 1- A full network map is displayed when the wireless connection is selected, with all 3 computers showing. When the wired LAN connection is selected there is no network map. Vista Home Premium detects it as a Domain connection and displays a message to that effect. 2- No map is created for either the wired or the wireless connections and both display the same error "An error happened during the mapping process". Anyone have an idea about what the problem might be? |
