Vista networking problem
I have a vista laptop that is wireless and an xp desktop that is wired to my
linksys router. when both computers were xp I was able to wirelessly print and file share. Now that I upgraded the laptop to Vista I am only able to recieve the internet connection wirelessly on the laptop, also I am able to share an iTunes Library between both computers. The xp desktop does show up in the Vista network map but I cannot connect to it or share files or the printers that are plugged into it. I have installed the LLTD on the xp computer and I have checked the firewalls. I have asked a lot of people about this and I am hoping to come up with an answer from someone. I'm not sure if this is just Vista sucking or if there is a solution. Someone please reply Thanks,

Someone please reply Thanks, Check the NetBT setting on each computer - make sure it's Enabled. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/07/advanced-windows-networking-using.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/0...ing-using.html Then look at logs from "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from each computer, so we can 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.
