Windows XP w SP2 and new Vista computer
I have a home network with 2 computers running XP Home with SP2 on both and a
D-Link DI - 624 that has worked very well sharing files and printers. Now I have a new HP laptop with Vista Home Premium. I have an internet connection with the Vista laptop, but cannot for the life of me figure out why I can't use the shared printers or share any files. I can see the Laptop with Vista when I view workgroup computers, but can't see any of the XP run computers when I view from the Vista. Please help!!!
