Adding Windows Vista to Win XP Network
Can someone advise how to add a Windows Vista laptop into a Win XP Media
Edition home network? I changed the workgroup name matching the XP, from XP desktop i can see that there is a laptop, but when i double click it, it gave me Error and to contact administrator. On my Vista laptop, i can't see any icon in the network except my own laptop. I need to do this so I can share files and folders with the desktop and also to print since my deskjet is attached to the desktop running XP. My laptop connection is through wireless. My current configuration is the desktop is running XP Home Media Edition, aDSL Cable modem and Netgear wireless router is attached to it. My laptop OS is Windows Vista Basic. I really appreciate if someone could guide me through. Thank you

Adding Windows Vista to Win XP Network
Hello Virod,
Assuming that you already configured the laptop for the wireless connection, go into Network Sharing Center and enable file and printer sharing. For more information, please see: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net.../vista_fp.mspx -- Eric Cross Microsoft MVP (Windows Networking) http://mvp.support.microsoft.com "Virod" wrote in message ...

Adding Windows Vista to Win XP Network
Eric,
Both of the file and printer sharing are ON and I even turn off the password. Still there is an error message pop up when i tried to view my Vista laptop from the XP Desktop and the message is \\Gsllc-1501(Which is my laptop) is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Is there something i have to set enable in Administrator Tools in my Win XP desktop? Without being to connect my Vista laptop to the XP Desktop, i cant add a network printer. What is your recommendation? Thank you for your kind attention.

installed on any of the machines?

Adding Windows Vista to Win XP Network
Eric, I have the identical problem.
I can see the XP and WME machines on my network and access their files. I can see my VISTA machine and drives but I get the same error message that Virod gets when I attempt to access them from the WME or XP machines. I have even gone to each folder I want to share and set all share choices for full share for everybody - which I was not all that excited about doing.... (But actually, I just want to share with my workgroup machines.) I have attempted to see what settings I could change with the Windows firewall on the VISTA machine but the advanced settings are set for file sharing. Do I need to do something else?

Adding Windows Vista to Win XP Network
Well, Eric I thought that might have been the issue.
I just checked it and my LAN is in the trusted network on Zone Alarm. From a XP machine I can see the VISTA one. I can see all of the directories on my F drive but get the same error message that Virod gets. Earlier I had marked each one with full share privileges for "everyone" The message I get is: "(the directory name) not accessible. You may not have permission to use this network resource."
