Vista cannot see XP
The Vista PC on my metwork shows other Vista PCs on the LAN, but does not
show the XP's. The XP's do show in the network map (I do have the LTTD patch installed on the XPs), and I can see the shared folders on the XPs *IF* I enter the address directly (\\xpcomputer) in Vista. But "Network" displays only the Vista PCs. Microsoft Tech support was not of much help. Anyone know reason/solution?

Hi Venu. You should make sure the machines are all in the same workgroup.

That may not be the problem. Mine, which is similar, shows me only Vista if
wireless, but all my PCs if I'm wired. Barb Bowman mentioned I need to set a switch somewhere from Public to Private and then I'll see the other boxes. Haven't tried this yet but might get to it tonight... Dana Cline - MCE MVP "Gloria Boyer [MSFT]" wrote in message ... Hi Venu. You should make sure the machines are all in the same workgroup.

yes, change from public to private, turn discovery on and file and
print sharing on if needed. On Tue, 17 Apr 2007 14:14:18 -0500, "Dana Cline - MVP" wrote: That may not be the problem.

Vista cannot see XP
Gloria,
Thank you for taking the time to reply. All my PCs are in the same workgroup; I have my LAN set to 'private' and all file/printer sharing is turned on. Still Vista PCs cannot see XP PCs (I have 2 Vista, 2 XP). The XP PCs can see the Vista PCs. Also, from Vista, I can enter the specific computer name (\\xp-pc-name) and successfully get access to shared folders. Just can't see them in 'Network'. I also cannot access my NAS device from Vista (but that is another story). Went up three levels of support at Microsoft and didn't get anywhere.

Due to this and another issue with a NAS device that Vista cannot see, I have gone back to XP (Thank god I did a dual boot installation rather than upgrade). Maybe Vista Service Pack 1, whenever it comes out, will fix this... Microsoft PC not talking to Microsoft PC is not good.... Venu ================ "Gloria Boyer [MSFT]" wrote: Hi Venu.
