Synchronisation across a network
I am running Vista HE Premium. I want to synchronise the contents of
"D:\music files" on the Vista computer with M:\Music files which is shared on a network computer running XP Home Edition. Is this possible. The sync centre does not recognise devices connected across a network. I am aware that you can share and access files offline but I think that this is only available in the Vista Ultimate Edition. Any ideas? Steve.

Synchronisation across a network
Not quite.... What you're actually asking for is PC-to-PC Sync, a very cool
feature that was unfortunately cut around the time of Beta 1. :-/ What's still in is the second possibility you mentioned.... Share the folder from the desktop, access it from the laptop, and mark it as "Always Available Offline." However, you're right -- this is only in the Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions. Your best bet, actually, is a an application like FolderShare (foldershare.com) -- a neat tool for keeping files in sync and sharing across multiple machines. "Rat_uk" wrote in message ...

Synchronisation across a network
After looking at Foldershare.com it seems that it is NOT VISTA compatable?
