Vista & XP Sharing
I have a home network with a LINKSYS router.
I have two machines directly connected to the router: one is running XP and one is running Vista. Other machines in the house use wireless. All the machines are in the same workgroup. I can access XP machines from Vista but I can't access Vista resources from XP machines. This is particularly bad since I have my printer installed on Vista-- it used to be on XP and everything was fine. The printer is shared. What else is needed?

Vista & XP Sharing
I am running Vista Home Premium.
There is no password requirement on the machine for printer sharing. "TomLives2000" wrote: What version of vista? Does the vista machine have password required for printer sharing?

Vista & XP Sharing
I followed all the directions specified for networking. I think the key one
was changing the XP workgroup to match Vista's needs. Hope this helps! "carranza" wrote: How are you able to see xp machine from vista? Can you explain the steps? I can see vista machine from xp.
