Vista Home Basic To XP Pro
I'm in my first week of a love/hate relationship with Vista and have seen
bits of my issue in several posts, but nothing that seems to match totally... I have one Vista machine in one location that successfully sees a Windows 2000 machine in the same workgroup. However, in another location I have a Vista machine that: Connects to the network Gets a DHCP address from the router Is in the same workgroup as the other computers Can map a printer that's shared on the XP Pro machine Can ping the other XP Pro machines in the workgroup Does NOT see the XP machines when I go to the Network & Sharing Center Can NOT be opened by one of the XP's, even though it can be seen It sounds like a rights issue, but I'm having a bit of a struggle finding my way through this new OS. Can anybody lay out a trail of breadcrumbs for me? -- Art Cabot Director, Information Technology Sizemore, Inc.

Art,
I'm sorry you're experiencing trouble. We're rewriting some of our Help pages so that they clearly and simply guide a user through troubleshooting some of these issues. Please check out: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...fcead1033.mspx. That page deals with troubleshooting problems finding computers on a home network. Let me know if this helps or not.

Art,
I forgot to add that in order for machines with older Windows operating systems to "light up" on Vista's Network Map, you need to install the LLTD Responder on the *older* Windows machines. You can pick that up at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en This Responder merely allows you to 'see' all your home machines in your Vista Network Map. You still need to set your security settings on the Vista machine to allow for file and printer sharing. Those directions can be found on the link I already sent you. Hope that helps.
