Vista working with some XP systems
I posted before and have some more information. The Vista laptop is now
talking to 2 out of 3 XP systems. On the Network screen in Vista where it lists all 4 systems (including itself), the two XP systems that work show at the bottom of the screen Category: Computer, Workgroup RMOFFICE, Network Location: Home. The XP system that Vista will not talk to shows the same category and workgroup, but does not show Network Location. Could this be why I get "Windows cannot access \\DESKTOP"? I can access the other two XP systems just fine. Internet is working all around. All computers are on the same workgroup. XP systems talk just fine.

No, unique usernames but same workgroup - i.e. DESKTOP, WORKSTATION, LAPTOP
workgroup is RMOFFICE "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote in message ... Do all computers have the same username?

Vista working with some XP systems
Ryan,
Your scenario reminds me of a similar issue few months back. Can you please answer the following questions? 1. Are your 2 XP systems able to access the 3rd XP machine (DESKTOP) ? (According to your original post, XP systems are able to access shares on other XP machines but I would like you to double-check and confirm) 2. Can you please check if 'File & Printer Sharing' ports are open in "Windows Firewall" on this ('DESKTOP') machine? 3. Do you have any 3rd party firewall or integrated firewall & anti-virus software on 'DESKTOP'? 4. Can you try to access DESKTOP using its IP address? (If IP address is 192.168.1.10, try to access it as \\192.168.1.10) Thanks, Sen.
