Unable to see XP computer wirelessly
I'm having trouble getting my 2 computers to see each other wirelessly on my
home network. I have a notebook running Vista and a PC running XP. The PC is connected to my router by cable and my notebook is connected wirelessly. I can connect to the internet with both and I can get the computers to ping each other but I can't get the computers to see each other. I've disabled firewalls, set workgroup name to be the same, and all other suggestions I've seen here. Also, when I connect my notebook to the router with a cable I can see other computers, file share, etc. So is this an issue with my network not being set up correctly or is it a Vista/XP issue? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
