XP/Vista network problem
I have been having the same problem as many others: I can see the shared
files on the laptop from the laptop, but cannot access the desktop shared files. I can access the internet from both computers. I have Windows XP on the (HP) desktop, Vista Home Premium on the (Gateway) Laptop, connected by a Netgear router. The only peculiarity with the setup is that I don’t have an NIC card, so the router is connected to the desktop with a USB/Ethernet adaptor. I have followed every suggestion on fixing this that I can find, and have spent hours on the problem with Netgear, as I assumed it must be the router. The Netgear technician said that it must be something to do with the firewall on the laptop. I have: Disabled Windows Firewall on both computers. I have no other firewalls. Disabled Virus Checkers on both (Symantec on laptop, McAfee on desktop.) Enabled file- and printer-sharing on desktop. Enabled file-sharing on laptop. Enabled NetBios over TCP/IP on both. Installed LLTD on XP desktop. Made sure the desktop ports for the network are open. I have spent 2 weeks on this problem, and cannot solve it. Any suggestions would be welcome!

XP/Vista network problem
Sorry -- should have mentioned that I get a "Request timed out" on pinging.
XPIP gives "System error 53 has occured. The network path was not found." "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: Can you ping the XP by IP? If yes, what's the system error if using net use \\xpip?

XP/Vista network problem
I believe it is firewall or security software blocks the sharing. Try to restart the vista as safe mode with network. Can you ping it?

XP/Vista network problem
No, I get the same answer: Request timed out.
For xpip, I get an Error 67: The network name cannot be found. I can ping the router (192.168.1.1,) and the laptop itself (192.168.1.3) but not the desktop (192.168.1.2).
