Cannot view shares resources in Windows XP Pro
I have just bought sony vaio laptop with Windows Vista Business
My shared printer is connected directly to Windows XP Pro computer. I am in the same workgroup, enable netbios and network discovery has been turned on, Firewall has been turned off. Don't seem to be able to view other computers in the same workgroup. cannot see the workgroup. I can connect to Internet. Is there any setting to be done on Windows Vista. I can see Wndows Vista computer name on my Windows XP Pro machine. Cheers! raychang

Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!): http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...#AskingForHelp And check the restrictanonymous setting. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/07/restrictanonymous-and-your-server.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...ur-server.html How did you turn the firewall off, and which firewall did you disable? What antivirus protection (make, model, and vintage) do you use? http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...ther-help.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.
