Vista XP Networking... again
I have a Dell desktop wired to my linksys router, and I recently purchased a
dell laptop that came with Vista  . I have several printers hooked to my desktop that I would like to be able to print wirelessly from my laptop. My wireless connection is fine, and I can access the internet. On the desktop, the icon for the laptop shows up, but when I click on it it says it is not accessable and the network path is not found. I cannot even get the Vista to see the XP computer. I find it very difficult to share when I can't even get the computers to recognize one another. Any suggestions...?

I'd check NetBT and all personal firewalls first. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/12/windows-xp-and-vista-on-lan-together.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/1...-together.html And look at name resolution, since that's the primary symptom here. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/address-resolution-on-lan.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...on-on-lan.html And look at logs from "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from each computer, and diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!): http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...#AskingForHelp -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

Similar thing happened to me - all settings were correct and found I had to
make adjustments to my AV program. What AV setup do you have? -- Regards Bob J "JGundy" wrote: I have a Dell desktop wired to my linksys router, and I recently purchased a dell laptop that came with Vista .
