I have setup a home networking with 2 vista machines. One is 32bit OS and
the other one is 64bit OS. I set up the workgroup, turned on File & Print Sharing, created shares on both PC's and gave permissions. From the 64bit Vista PC, it's working perfectly fine. I can see, connect and use the files. But from the 32bit os pc, I can see the 64bit pc and the "Network". But I cannot explore nor Map a Drive to 64bit PC. I am so desperate. So please help me!!! |

Hi
Usually that means that the Firewall on the computer that refuses to share is blocking the share traffic. 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. General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted Vista File and Printer Sharing- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb727037.aspx Jack (MS, MVP-Networking). "Daniel" wrote in message ...

Hi
Try to disable the Norton AV and see what happens. Enable the Vista Firewall and make sure that it allows File Sharing. Then if you wish you can try to disable again BTW, Router's NAT Firewall is only one way firewall. Thus, even if you have a Router, it is a very good idea to run software Firewall too.
