Hope someone can help me with this.
I'm having quite a few issues trying to get my new Vista machine to work with the rest of my home network. I have 1 XP Pro desktop PC, and 2 Laptop PC's running XP Home edition. All of them on a "MSHOME" network domain, and I can share folders/printers among all of these machines without any problems. On my new HP machine with Vista Premium Home, I've also set it up to be in the same domain, and I've followed the instructions to make sure it is network available (in the Network and Sharing center, everything is "On" -- network discovery, file sharing, etc.) Now here's the strange part. When I go to the Network from Windows Explorer, and look at the MSHOME domain -- I don't see any of the other computers. Just the "local" machine. On my XP Pro desktop, I *can* see the new HP machine, but when I click on it to search for shared folders, it comes back with an error "You might not have permission to use this network resource..." Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Or something else to check? Thanks. |

I have 2 "identical" XP computers. 1 hooked up instantly, but I struggled to get the other one on the network with Vista 32. I downloaded the link from the email above, nothing. What I found is there is a random issue with Norton Firewall and Vista. I disabled the norton firewall and used the Windows XP firewall and it showed up instantly. You can tweak the sytem later. but on Vista try: Password protected sharing - off -- Warrior |

I'm running into the same exact problem. I can see the entire network
through vista on my desktop pc but can't access my xp laptop. My laptop can't find my desktop pc. Both computers are in the same network group. My desktop is wire connected to a linksys WRT54G router and the laptop connects via wireless. I have installed the link layer topology and that is what finally enabled me to see the xp laptop on the network map through the vista desktop. I am unable to share the home network but my internet connection works fine on both. I have also read through the majority of posts listed here and have gone through the list of things here without any luck. I would be greatly appreciative of any replies that I could get in resolving the network issues I'm having. TIA. "Warrior" wrote in message ...
