Check workgroup names. They should be the same. XP's default is MSHOME. Vista default is WORKGROUP. -- ______________________________ Walter B waltblanch[at]tampabay[dot]rr[dot]com ______________________________

See my post below and others. This seems to be a common thread to VISTA.
I hope someone can help us. "Mukund" wrote: i added a laptop running vista to home network of 4 xp running computers. vista laptop sees only itself in the network and none of the others. cannot figure out what i am missing.

If you're adding a computer running Windows Vista to your network, you have to set it up as a server, so you can access it from your other computers. * Set the Network Location Type to "Private". This implies that your computers are secure, behind a perimeter firewall or a NAT router, and opens the personal firewall for file sharing. * Check / set "Password protected sharing" (PPS). Disabling PPS is the equivalent of enabling Simple File Sharing, in Windows XP. * Setup shared folders and printers. If you enabled PPS, you should setup access for individual users. If you disabled PPS, you setup access for "Guest" or "Everyone". Other than the network setup wizards used, Vista will be similar to XP. You'll still have issues with Windows Networking, if not properly set. * Make sure that NetBT is Enabled consistently. * Make sure that all personal firewalls are properly setup. * Make sure that name resolution is consistently setup. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/12/windows-xp-and-vista-on-lan-together.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/1...-together.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
