Mapped Network Drive in XP Not Showing Up in Vista
I upgraded from XP to RC1, I had a mapped networked folder on a SQL server
that wasn't a part of the active directory that I am a part of, which could easily still be seen, searched, and used under XP. Now, I can't connect at all to the server in Vista. It won't show up in the network discovery and I can't browse to it either. I can, however, look it up in Internet Explorer (using the IP address, which brings up the server's homepage), and I can also remote desktop to its IP address. Why can I connect using RD and IE but can't get the ODBC SQL connection to work nor can I browse to the server to connect to any files? Please help... Thanks! |

Looks like your DNS translation is broken somewhere (ie your system is not able to map the servername to ip address) ? Can you resolve address from any other non-Vista machine ?

Mapped Network Drive in XP Not Showing Up in Vista
All of the other machines in my office (All XP Pro) connect to this SQL
server daily; the ability to browse to the server and create an ODBC connection to it seems to have been broken by the Vista installation somehow.
