I have a home network that consists of a wireless router with a desktop, and
one laptop running windows xp (sp2), and one new laptop running windows vista
home. my desktop see and accesses everything on all the computers, my xp
laptop sees the desktop but not the vista machine. and my vista machine will
show the full network when you go to full map from network and sharing
control panel, however when i go to the networks folder it doesn't show the
other two xp machines, and i cant access any of the material from them.
Anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks for trying, but I've already been there, and to about a hundred other
pages, and so far nothing has worked, i have the discovery protocols put on
my xp machines and everything, but still can't access them from my vista
machine. It's getting incredibly frustrating.

Justin,

If you ran the Vista network setup, and you still have problems, look for a
misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall, or other security component.
There are several other possibilities too, and any might be the cause of your
problem. Read this article with an open mind.

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/1...isibility.html

Or look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from each computer, and
diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow
instructions precisely (download browstat!):

Chuck,

I will also look through those again, is there some way to wipe all the
networking clean and start over from initial set up? Because I have already
been through those pages also with no luck.

Justin,

If you WANT to, you could start from the LSP / Winsock article, and you'll find
a couple posts about TCP/IP and the network adapter reloads.
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/problems-with-lsp-winsock-layer-in.html
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...-layer-in.html

But if you had actually been thru all of those pages, I think you would have
posted the browstat and ipconfig logs, from all 3 computers. But I don't see
any yet. Always diagnose from the bottom up.

I'm sorry you're experiencing trouble. What, exactly, is the error you're
