i cant acces my windows xp computer, neither the printer
i have vista ultimate, and im trying to use my printer on my xp pro desktop
from my notebook. i can only see my xp desktop, but i cant get in it, neither see my HP printer, and my printer is supported by vista. i have installed the LLTD or something protocol on my xp, i have done so many things. my network is public, on the network and sharing center, the only things that are off are the pasword protected sharing and media sharing, everything else is on. can any one give me any advice on what to do next? thanks a lot

Have you tried to create the same username on the XP? Or check this troubleshooting,
Step by step troubleshooting VISTA sharing 1. Make sure you can see each other, for example ping. 2.

i cant acces my windows xp computer, neither the printer
i cant ping my xp desktop, i already followed the steps from that link, and
still not working. i have the same username on my xp computer, without the password though, and thats why i have password protection off. any other thing for me to try. i dont get it why stupid MS didnt have a simple network setup and file and printer sharing thing like they did with xp, in less than 10secs, i had everything done on my xp. and with my vista, it has taken me more than 10 hours over all.

i cant acces my windows xp computer, neither the printer
problem resolved. the whole problem was mcafee, it took me for ever to find
the disable option, since they got a new complicated and useless UI, and u have to go through configureinternet and network. from there u can disable the firewall, or u can click in advancedsystem services, and from there check the ones u want. i selected network time protocol and file and printer sharing(netbios). and some other ones i regularly use. try this out if you have mcafee and make sure u do it in all computers, not just one. goodluck and thanks to ROBERT L, for helping  "Frank" wrote: i cant ping my xp desktop, i already followed the steps from that link, and still not working. i have the same username on my xp computer, without the password though, and thats why i have password protection off. any other thing for me to try. i dont get it why stupid MS didnt have a simple network setup and file and printer sharing thing like they did with xp, in less than 10secs, i had everything done on my xp. and with my vista, it has taken me more than 10 hours over all.

Thank you for the detail feedback. McAfee, Norton, OneCare and Windows firewall are first thing we share check whenever have ping or sharing issue.

i cant acces my windows xp computer, neither the printer
My situation is similar to some posts:
I bought a VISTA laptop. I can't see my WINDOWS XP desktop and my Desktop cannot see my laptop. Therefore file and folder sharing up to now is not possible. It may be my ignorance concerning networks. Don't know the difference between workgroup name and SSID. Anyhow, My laptop brought a McCafee and I've disabled that. I have Norton Antivirus/Internet security with 2 yr subscription and I've installed that on my laptop (funny thing tho' I can't access the dialog box of Norton Antivirus, oh brother). Internet connection works fine as you can see on both desktop and laptop. What in the world is going on? Should I uninstall Norton, keep Mcafee disabled, is it my SSID ? I've named the network, but at the same time my laptop shows "another" network connection available "LINKSYS"---that's what I'm using as a router! helP!!!!!!
