Default Cant access computers on the network

I can't access any of the computers on our network. I can get onto the
internet, but when i pull up the network it doesn't show the computers in the
network folder. not until I click on show network map under the networking
and sharing center. I've tried everything nothing seems to be working any
suggestions? i'm frustrated.

Default Cant access computers on the network

Robert L, I am having network issues also. I followed your links and its
advice. I cannot ping my XP computers from my vista machine and everytime I
try to connect it stated it cannot find the computer. The XP computer makes
it out to the internet fine.

I cannot ping the xp computer or the vista machine from the xp machine?.
Did not find any help that would lead me to a conclusing on how to handle
this communication issue.
Thanks

In this case, I would check the firewall or any security software first.

Default Cant access computers on the network

If it turn off my trend micro firewall i can ping the computers. My network
was fine when it was all XP so I just don't get it. I can see my other
computers on the network, however when I try to connect I receive a message
that the computer in this case arianne-laptop is not there. Check the name
and spelling. Diagnose tells me the same thing. Any thoughts? ... Other
than downloading vista for the other machines? Thanks

JB,

Did you ever figure out how to resolve this? I have the same issue in that I
can see the networked XP machine in the map, but not elsewhere.

Default Cant access computers on the network

I have 2 Vista computers and 3 XP computers and a Xerox IP printer. All 3
XP's work fine. One Vista works fine (can see all 3 XPs). The other Vista
can see only the Internet (It shows the router on the map, but none of the
information that is displayed by the Vista that works). It however can ping
everything. I've gone through all the trouble shooters, I've compared every
network and firewall setting I can find between the two Vista's the second
simply cannot access anyting on the network. It can't even see the IP
printer when I manually give it the IP address. I've installed the LLTD on
one XP computer, but it isn't necessary for the one that works and doesn't
help the one that does??!!?!?!!!!!

None of the network diagnostics "find" any issues. Furstrating doesn't
begin to describe it. I haven't had this much problem networking a Windows
computer since before Windows for Workgroups.

Any ideas what else to try?
