XP can't ping VISTA
I've turned off Firewalls on both. I tried turning of Norton on the
XP, but it didn't help. Vista can see XP fine. Problem is the printer is now on the VISTA. I can't access it at all on the XP. HELP!!! I'm new to VISTA but not to computers and networking. I have to XP computers that network fine and there are 2 printers that used to be one one each of the XPs that work fine. Now one of those printers is on the VISTA. Can't see at all.

HI Keith: I also have cable, cable modem, into a Linksys Router, and from
Router to the computer.I have a Lexmark X8350 all in one with a USB cable to my desktop. The Network Magic can see the other computer with windows xp on it, and can share files. But can not use the Printer. The printer will only work with my Windows XP computer. I have tried everything to resloved this and still can't make it work. All the advice I have tried and the only thing tha worked so far was the Network Magic.
