Default setting up a network and sharing

If you can't get your vista computer to work with your xp computer, try this:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net.../vista_fp.mspx
You need to go to the 'Common Questions' section near the end, which deals
with changing your settings in your third party firewall.
It's very simple. The only difficult bit is finding the information in the
first place!

Debbie,

Windows Vista is pretty much similar to Windows XP, but it has little
differences that will be a challenge. Try my tutorial, which will get you
started, by identifying the differences.

Try this if others donot work



Assuming all your computers can connect to Internet on its own and all using
The same router.

1. Windows Vista

Click NETWORK AND SHARING CENTER
TURN ON NET WORK DISCOVERY
FILE SHARING
PRINTER SHARING

Note: Vista some time turn the NetWork Discovery Off by it self
Turn it on again if it is off.
After completing Windows XP network setup go to Network and Sharing Center
and click View Computers Devices.

2. Windows XP SP2

Go to Control Panel SystemHardwareDevice Manager Network adapters and
uninstall the wireless Network Device and reboot you XP Computer

The Computer will reinstall your Network Device automatically
You will be asked to choose which network you want to connect to
Just highlight your own network and Click connect
You will be asked to provide Manual Hex Key (If your setup is Security-enabled
Network) and than click CONNECT

After successfully connected.
Go to My Network Places View Workgroup Computers
Your own Computer and Windows Vista will be displayed
It works for me

Good Luck


EMSM

When I restarted it said it found new hardware but did not ask me which
network I want to connect to. When I go to My Network Places View Workgroup
Computers all that is there is the XP computer not the Vista computer.
