Vista can't see workgroup on wireless network
I am trying to network a Vista Home Premium laptop to a wireless network
(peer to peer) that has 2 XP Pro machines on it The Vista machine can access the Internet, but not the XP machines. The laptop says that it has connected to the network, but it doesn't see the workgroup. Linksys wireless router - the SSID has the same name as the workgroup. Could this be the problem? Dan

Vista can't see workgroup on wireless network
If the firewall is off, can you ping each other by IP?

Sorry it took so long to respond, the computer owner was on vacation.
I can ping the desktop from the laptop. "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: If the firewall is off, can you ping each other by IP?
