Hi there
Im trying to network a Vista Laptop with an Xp desktop. Though the desktop appears to be within the same network, when i try to open or access it from the Vista Laptop it says there is no connection. I am relatively new at this so any help would be appreciated - would be willing to set up the network again under guidance. Tashaq |

Hi
Maybe this can Help. Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared. Vista File and Printer Sharing- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb727037.aspx Windows XP File Sharing - http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304040 Printer Sharing XP - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...utt_july2.mspx Windows Native Firewall setting for Sharing XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875357 Windows XP patch for Sharing with Vista - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120 Jack (MVP-Networking).
