I have a vista computer and laptop and 360 in a network, the problem im
having is that the laptop is working fine when it connects to the wireless router all my computers access, its network map shows itself going through the router; however my vista desktop while seeing the laptop in the network places, does not see itself as going through a network and sees itself as soley going through its own network and connected to the internet in the network map. The desktop does not recognize my router as a network like my laptop. |
