Can't get to an one XP machine from Vista
I have 6 machines (1 Vista, 1 Windows Home Server, 4 WinXP) on my Windows
Network. For some reason, the Vista machine doesn't see one of my XP machines. I can access the public folders on the Vista machine from all of my machines and I can access the Shared folders on the problem XP machine from all the other machines; it's just the Vista machine that doesn't see the XP machine. How do I troubleshoot this? I can't figure out how to even see my network from the Vista machine; it just shows me the machines it wants to display. For the record, I have the guest account enabled on all machines. It's always worked and that's what I want to continue to use. |

Can't get to an one XP machine from Vista
My understanding is that the transponder is not involved in actually
connecting to/sharing with other machines; its only function is to put things on the network map. From what I can tell, none of the other machines have the transponder installed and they are all visible to the Vista Machine. In fact, the problem machine was also visible at one point but it has not been for about 2 weeks.. I don't understand what I have to do to get the Vista machine to just display the shared resources in the workgroup.

Can't get to an one XP machine from Vista
I decided to try to add the SharedDocs folder on the invisible machine to
"My Computer" on the Vista Machine and ...lo and behold, I can access to the folders without any problem. They still don't appear in the Network tree of the common file dialogs though -- Why not?
