XP - Vista home networking blues...
Hi Friends,
I just got my new HP 6710b with Vista Business preinstalled. I already have another pc with Win-XP home running on it. I tried a few things but cant get through to connect the two systems into a single network. In the forums I found that I need a patch for XP and I installed that as well. But no avail. Neither system can see each other. However, in the run window of vista, a ping to the other system can see the box. However, the xp machine can not ping the vista system. I have already tried the following... 1. I changed the workgroup names to one (wrkgrp_home) and then the computers could detect each other in network map / search computers (XP). 2. I switched on the File and printer sharing as an exception on Windows firewall on both systems. 3. My network location was Public earlier, I changed that to Private now. Due to one of these changes, the vista machine which could ping the xp machine earlier, cant ping it anymore. Help please... regards raghav..
