Vista networking with machine names..
I have several Vista and XP machines connected in the same network. I
can't get any of the Vista machines to fileshare with any of the other XP or other Vista machines. On the Vista machines, the other computers show up under the network browser but when I double click on them it says it can't find the machine or if I enter the actual path like \\MY-PC\SharedDocs it says that path doesn't exist. However if I use the actual IP address like \\192.168.1.100\SharedDocs it works fine. The same is true for printer sharing. What's going on??

Sounds like name resolution issue. have you enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP? Or this troubleshooting may help,
Step by step troubleshooting ...If they would like to access each by using the netbios name, make sure enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. 5. Make sure no firewall/security software block sharing. ... http://www.chicagotech.net/netforums...opic.php?t=273 Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com wrote in message oups.com...

That is already enabled. I've read every troubleshooting guide I
could find and no help. These are all brand new Vista machines, I can't believe MS would make this so difficult.

Vista networking with machine names..
Then let's begin with the easy stuff. First, you can see your Vista
machines; and you have more than one Vista machine running the final released version. If so, ensure that both show Network Discover=ON, File Sharing=ON, and Public Folder Sharing=ON. Then, move a test doc into your public folder on your Vista A machine. From the Vista B machine, can you see the Vista A machine? If you double click on the A machine image in the Network Map, what happens?
