Vista & XP Macines on Netwrok
I have a network at home. It has been working fine with all computers. I
added this new Vista machine. It sees all the machines including the wireless laptop. All the hardwired units see the vista machine. The wireless laptop does not see the Vista machine but sees all the other XP machines. Disabled all firewalls, on vista machine with no change. Help!!! Thanks! -- nittanylion70

Check the user that's logged into each machine. Be sure that the user is the
same and is listed in the Vist and laptop. Be sure Network discovery and file sharing are on in the Vista machine. Be sure the Vista shares can be seen by any user. Sometimes it's tricky. I have had similar experiences and just kept trying things. Also double-check netbios over tcpip is enabled on both. "nittanylion70" wrote in message ... I have a network at home.

I checked the Netbios over TCPIP and they are both OK. I do not understand
your point about listed users on the machines. It appears to be the wireless connection. The hard wired 98 and XP machine both see the vista computer. Either the XP wireless has a bad setting or Vista's paranoia is blocking the wireless. So far I am underwhelmed with Vista. Thanks for your help. -- nittanylion70 "John" wrote: Check the user that's logged into each machine. Be sure that the user is the same and is listed in the Vist and laptop.

OK I know more things but I'm not sure I'm any closer.
I ran ipconfig/all and I got a summary - when I do step 2 to convert it to txt it tells me access denied. I downloaded browstat and when I do the same with browstat.txt is says access denied. While reading your articles, I did the one in the registry about turning off the DHCP broadcast flag and then rebooted. I could not see any machines from the Vista machines and none of the other machine could see the vista machine. I went back and took out the statement and it returned to 'normal' where I the harwired machines all see everything but the wireless machine XP Pro sees all but the Vista machine. I have a hardwired XP Pro machine and it sees the Vista machine. Sorry for not including the printouts of ipconfig and browstat. -- nittanylion70 "Chuck" wrote: On Sun, 17 Jun 2007 18:13:00 -0700, nittanylion70 wrote: I have a network at home.

There are two changes that you may need to make, when running browstat or ipconfig, under Vista. 1) Run as administrator. * Right Click on Command Prompt. * Left click on Run as Administrator. * Click the Allow button if it asks you for permission. 2) Instead of browstat status c:\browstat.txt notepad c:\browstat.txt Try browstat status browstat.txt notepad browstat.txt Now you need to diagnose the "DHCP Broadcast" setting by whether the computer gets an IP address. If the IP address is "169.254.n.n", you have a problem and the DHCP broadcast flag MAY be part of the problem. If the address is NOT "169.254.n.n", you will have to look for another problem.

have attached the ipconfig below. I found in system32 folder teh browstat text document and it was blank. The IP address seems OK. All the below is from the vista machine.
