Hi
I have two PCs. One has Vista Ultimate and the other has Vista Business. I have connected them through a switch. Both PCs have different NIC cards. In either of the PCs, under 'Network' folder, I can see the other PC. But when I double click on one PC, I get the following message: \\pc name not found. When I ping that PC, I get no reply. When I try to access the other PC via \\IP address, I get the same error message. I have turned on the following: Network discovery File Sharing Public Folder sharing Printer Sharing (although I don't have any printer) I have turned off the following: All firewalls Password protected sharing Media sharing I have shared the root drive as shown on microsoft website (http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/He lp/33307acf-0698-41ba-b014-ea0a2eb8d0a81033.mspx#E MGAE). But I still can't access it. Please advise how I can access the root drive. Thanks... |
