File & Print Sharing with Vista Home Premium & XP wireless laptop
Problem sharing printer & files from desktop PC with Vista Home Premium with
XP wireless laptop. Please help !! I can ping the wireless XP laptop from the Vista desktop PC but I get an error message "Request time out" when I try to ping the Vista PC from the XP laptop. I have enabled file & printer sharing on both PC's. I have put LLTD responder (KB922120) onto the wireless XP laptop. I have done the Microsoft.com/technet/network/evaluate/vista_fp.mspx steps. - Workgroup name same on both PC's, enabled private network, enabled file & print sharing, created same user account name with same password on both computers. (Tried creating same user account name without Admin rights with same password on both PC's. Tried creating same user account name with Admin rights with the same password on both PC's then without passwords.) What is really strange is that on a few times the XP laptop will see part of the Vista PC but will not see the shared files or the shared printer. I have tried disabling Norton Antivirus on the XP laptop but still no luck. On both the M/S Windows Firewall I have enabled file & printer sharing. One thing I have not tried yet is disabling the Firewall on both PC's but this does not seem like a safe way to operate my home network.

File & Print Sharing with Vista Home Premium & XP wireless lap
I found my ping problem it was McAfee. I had to select the accepted IP ranges
under Trusted & Banned IP's. Now both PC's can see files on both PC's however my new problem is when I print from the wireless XP laptop it will only print out to my shared printer connected to my Vista PC when I shut the Vista PC down and then restart the Vista PC. Any suggestions? "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: WE need to figure out why you can't ping. Turn off all firewall or security software on the Vista. Ping the vista by IP. Can you ping it?

File & Print Sharing with Vista Home Premium & XP wireless lap
Having a similar problem with a new Vista Home Prem, old XP Home system.
Vista can't see the xp system. XP system can see Vista but is told "network path not found" when attempting to access. Trying to share printer and files. ALL firewalls/intrusion are off. NetBIOS is enabled on v4 both systems. "Bob" wrote: I found my ping problem it was McAfee. I had to select the accepted IP ranges under Trusted & Banned IP's.

File & Print Sharing with Vista Home Premium & XP wireless lap
Ben,
I'm sorry you're experiencing problems. Vista has some substantial changes in the sharing and permissions model over that of XP in order to improve security 'out-of-the-box'. Please review the TechNet article at the link below: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net.../vista_fp.mspx After reviewing that, please let us know if you're still having problems. Thanks "Ben" wrote: Having a similar problem with a new Vista Home Prem, old XP Home system. Vista can't see the xp system.

Disabled the UAC under user accounts and all is well. Everything working
perfectly except HP hasn't updated its drivers for Vista... soon enough. "Kim [MS]" wrote: Ben, I'm sorry you're experiencing problems.

File & Print Sharing with Vista Home Premium & XP wireless lap
I found the problem to my Lexmark X5470 XP wireless laptop printing to my
printer connected to my Vista desktop PC. I went to Lexmark website & downloaded their "Vista" printer driver. Then reinstalled my printer with the new driver. Works fine now.
