I've been trying to get my XP pro machine and Vista notebook to recognize
each other in a workgroup. Both machines have the same workgroup names. My wife's notebook can network just fine to the XP machine. I can ping each machine from the other. I have turned of all third party firewall and windows firewalls. Any suggestions? Cheers! pablo |

My email is AT DOT actual address pchuck mvps org. Thanks Chuck. Tried the procedures in the first two links to no avail. Have to head to bed before traveling for a couple of days. Will try your other suggestions on my return. Thanks! per |
