XP / Vista Network
I purchased a HP laptop w/Vista and am trying to connect it to my network.
Following the regular procedures, my main XP machine can't see the new laptop and the Vista laptop nor the the other way around. I purchased the Belkin transfer cable and software and that fails to connect the new Vista laptop to either of my other XP computers using the USB cable they provide either! Any ideas? Should I remove Norton from the Laptop?
