1. Try to install LLDT on XP.
2. Make sure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled. 3. Make sure no firewall or security software blocks the sharing. If above don't fix the problem, use net view \\xpipaddress to find the system error. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "blistaonmyvista" wrote in message ...

I have done all the proper updates etc...I can ping the xp boxes etc. This is generally cause by a personal firewall or security program blocking traffic, on the XP computers. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...ther-help.html If you want to diagnose the problem, look at logs from "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net config workstation", from each computer. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (Download browstat, and note how to run the Vista command window as admin!): http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...#AskingForHelp -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP 2005-2007 [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
