Can 2 xp computers and 2 vista computers exist in a family network
Hi. We have had 4 computers on a family network forever. 2 are connected to
the router via cable - 1 xp and 1 vista. 2 are connected to the network wirelessly, 1 xp and 1 vista. The 2 computers running vista can see each other and the relevant printers. The 2 computers running xp cannot connect to the network at all and cannot connect to the networked printers either - PLEASE HELP!

Sure, they should be able to see each other. Can you ping each by IP?
