Trouble getting Vista to see the other comps.
I have a home network with two desktops ( One running XP Home, and one
running 2000 Pro) and a new laptop with Vista Home Premium. I set up the workgroup network and the XP and 2K machines can connect with each other and see the Vista machine, but the Vista machine can't see either one. I took down all the firewalls. I am by no means an expert but I have added other comps to the network before and never had it only see one way. Any Help would be great. Thanks

My Vista Biz machine also has experienced this problem intermittently, depending upon which flower some butterfly in China decides to land upon, although some astrologers may disagree that the butterfly is the cause. But in all cases, if I open the remote computer from the Run dialog using the syntax: \\computername I've always been able to get to both Windows 2000 and XP Pro machines. -- David Dickinson eveningstar at die-spammer-die dash mvps dot org Please reply only to the newsgroup, not by email.

If you can see a remote computer but nor browse it, that could be the computer browser issue. Any error in the Event Viewer?
