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!

Thanks, Debbie 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. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/12/windows-xp-and-vista-on-lan-together.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/1...-together.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP 2005-2007 [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

Thanks, Debbie 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.
