Can XP and Vista computers co-exist in the same workgroup?
After installing my 3rd Vista computerat home, I can no longer see the old XP
computers from my Vista computers and viceversa (up to the 2nd one I could..). The Vista ones can see each other, but the XP cannot any longer... I have defined again the workgroup name to no avail... Does anybody have any idea what I did wrong and how to reverse it? Many thanks...

Many thanks... There are several possible reasons for problems like yours. The most common is a personal firewall, blocking browser traffic (which lets the computers "see" each other). http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...ther-help.html Look carefully at the NetBT setting, and personal firewall settings. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/07/advanced-windows-networking-using.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/0...ing-using.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

On Vista, bring up Networks. Right-click on your network connection, select
Properties. There should be a way there to switch from Public to Private, and that would allow all your Vista and XP boxes to see each other. Dana Cline - MCE MVP "makerofgirls" wrote in message ...
