Networking between laptop and pc
I have a laptop with Vista and my PC is XP. I have used the assistant to turn
on the sharing with both, but I still cannot access public folders or print from my laptop.

You're going to need more detail than that. Lacking detail, I'll give you more things to try. 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. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/12/windows-xp-and-vista-on-lan-together.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/1...-together.html Start by looking 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!): http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...#AskingForHelp -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
