You could include a bit more detail about your network, and your problem. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/background-information-useful-in.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...useful-in.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/how-to-post-on-usenet-and-encourage.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...encourage.html 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". Since Vista security is "deny by default (permit by demand)", "Everyone" doesn't automatically have access to newly created shares. Check Security for each share created, if you disable PPS. Other than the network setup wizards used, Vista will be pretty similar to XP. You'll still have issues with Windows Networking, if not properly set. * Put all computers in the same workgroup. * Make sure that NetBT is Enabled consistently. * Make sure that all personal firewalls are properly setup. * Make sure that name resolution is consistently setup. For details, see my tutorial. 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.
