I have spent hours trying to get my Vista Home Premium PC to see my XP
Professional PC.
The XP machine sees the Vista machine fine, but I can actually search for it
in XP.
I have set the Workgroup to MSHOME on both PC's & even completely disabled
all of the networking stuff on my Norton NIS.
I have even changed the name under the middle icon in the Network and
Sharing Center to MSHOME.
Vista just does not see the XP PC.
The search feature in the Network windows just seems to look at the icons
already displayed.

Is there a similar feater to the Search For Computers wizard in XP.
It finds my other PC's when they dont show up !!!

Thanks.

Hi

Install this file into your XP machine
or the vista network map will not see the XP machine

The name of the network in the NSC doesn't matter for this. Nor does the
LLTD patch have anything to do with discovering the other PCs.

Make sure that Network Discovery and File Sharing are enabled on the Vista
machine. You'll also need to permit file and print sharing in both
machine's firewalls.

I tried Network Magic and it didn't help.

Make sure that the appropriate firewall ports are open on both computers.
