XP does not access VISTA
Hi All, I used to have a network that consisted of: XP Pro / XP Home / Win 98 / Win 2000 they all saw each other and I was able to move & change files between them. I have had VISTA since 9/2008 and I _now_ LOVE it!!!! ( got it tweaked the way I want ---- thank you SHAWN!!!!! ) however, my vista machine sees my XP machines and the shared folders but my XP machines don't see vista when I open network folder. I have everything shared, all permissions are full. I tried again to set up network on XP machine and it sees the vista shares but not allowed access. please help thanks ps don't know if it matters, vista is a laptop running wireless.

XP does not access VISTA
Hi
Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party Firewall instructions). Even if you switch the Firewalls Off, make sure that the Trusted Zone and exceptions are configured correctly. http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted Make sure that what you are trying to share in Vista is indeed is sharable. Some folders for security reason would not share.

XP does not access VISTA
Hi, This is a simple problem you are unable to see the xp computer files is cause windows xp needs to have LLTD enabled. Either you could download xp sp3 or download and install LLTD from the following link 'Download details: Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder (KB922120)' (http://www.microsoft.com/DownLoads/d...displaylang=en) hope this helps Cheers !! * * -- john_cena -Shihan Sylvester Pietersz- -(MCP,MCSA,MCSE+Security,MCSE+Messeging- -MCTS,MCITP)- -Systems -::-Engineer / Consultant Trainer- ::

It isn't necessary to install the LLTD Responder on Windows XP. Windows XP and Vista can network with each other and access each other's shared disks and folders without it. As documented in the link that you gave, the only function of the LLTD responder is to allow a Windows XP computer to appear in Vista's "Network Map". -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
