I have a Vista machine and 2 XPs on the same network. The Vista machine sees
the others but doesn't connect. Error report is "Network Path Not Found". I've tried Network Magic and it sees the other systems but trying to connect doesn't work and neither does mapping the drive. Occasionally the thing works but it's never stable. What a mess. What is happening here? |

What is happening here? Rick, Start by looking at the NetBT setting, and all personal firewalls, on all computers, together. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/07/advanced-windows-networking-using.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/0...ing-using.html Then 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!): 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.
