Dual boot & Networking
I presently have a wireless home network with 1 desktop and 2 notebooks, and
everything works fine. XP Pro is on the desktop and XP home on the notebooks. I installed Vista as a dual boot with XP Pro on the desktop and I would like to set up a home network so if either XP Pro or Vista is running the notebooks can access the printer and files. I guess I will have to redo setting up the home network from scratch, but it's been so log since I did my network setup it's a little foggy and with Vista in the picture I'm not sure how or what I need to do. Can anyone give me some info on what I need to do in some kind of order to get this to work. I'm a little confused at what needs to be done.

Hi John. I don't think you need to set up your network all over again. It
sounds like you just need to connect Vista to the existing network. Here's a help topic about connecting to a wireless network: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...4dedb1033.mspx Hope this helps! -- Gloria Boyer Windows User Assistance team Microsoft Corporation

This didn't do it. I can't see any of the notebooks, and they can't see
Vista. "Gloria Boyer [MSFT]" wrote in message ... Hi John. I don't think you need to set up your network all over again. It sounds like you just need to connect Vista to the existing network.

After reading a little more I did get to work.
I changed the Vista workgroup name to MSHOME which is the same name the other PC's have. After a reboot I could see the other PC"s. I then installed the "Link Layer Topology Discovery" to notebooks so they could see Vista. So everything works fine now. "John" wrote in message ... This didn't do it.
