connecting to a vista computer on home network
Just installed Vista x64 on my HTPC and now I am trying to set up home network to connect two or my laptops to a network printer, which is connected to the HTPC and now running x64, and of course there is a problem. Both of my laptops can see each other, no problem, and they can see my HTPC on my Workgroup, but they cannot get in to it. And of course, they don’t see the printer. The HTPC itself can see everything (both laptops) and folders on there, no problem. I have switched on all possible settings in Vista Network menu. Restarted…. Few times… no difference…. Any idea what can be done? -- henado

I would check the firewall first. Do you have 3rd party security software?
Or try clean boot for troubleshooting.

Thanks for that. I will look it through. At the same time, there is no firewall. I've switched off brandmauer and switched on all possible settings to allow outside computers get into it. No change!!! Have no idea!!!! -- henado

If you have Password protection turned on in Network and Sharing, you will
need to set up User Accounts on the Vista for each XP machine for them to be able to share Vista printer and folders. "henado" wrote: Thanks for that. I will look it through.
