Help Network qeury?
I have recently had a new pc installed in the office. it is running windows
Vista home premium. I need to do two things.... 1: delete obsolete network connections on the 2 other office PCs (running XP) 2: Set up my Vista pc as the host of a new network that allows the two other PCs to access files on any advice or pitfalls? PS: the original network runs through a modem router which has 4 inputs for the ethernets of the 3 pc to run into. Cheers in advance.

You may need to install the LLTD on the Windows XP machines to see the Vista
machine. Be sure to enable media/file sharing; or simply use the 'Public' folders to share information throughout the network. LLTD download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en -- Thanks, James Mueller http://www.sharepointcommunity.com "The Forgotten" wrote: I have recently had a new pc installed in the office. it is running windows Vista home premium.

The public networking is NOT the way to go; it is for use in airports,
hotels, etc; hotspots (a security issue). You need private network to see other computers on it. And in the 2 XP comps, change the workgroup name from MSHOME to WORKGROUP; which is the same name of the vista workgroup, which is WORKGROUP "James Mueller" wrote: You may need to install the LLTD on the Windows XP machines to see the Vista machine.

Mick, I think you misunderstood my reply. I was referencing Public Folders;
not networks. Glad to see you got it working though. -- Thanks, James Mueller http://www.sharepointcommunity.com "Mick" wrote: The public networking is NOT the way to go; it is for use in airports, hotels, etc; hotspots (a security issue).
