Connecting two vista laptops
Last weekend my friend and I got together hoping to connect our laptops (both
running vista home premium) for some filesharing and some lan gaming. We tried to connect wirelessly over a temp network and by using an ethernet cable. At one stage using the cable, the other laptop could see my laptop and get into the shared files but not the other direction, ie my laptop could not see his laptop. We tried many many different things, including the wireless ad-hoc which didnt work at all. We both had filesharing and discovery turned on etc. Any suggestions would be a great help! Cheers

Tiger9999187,
Here is an article on creating an ad-hoc network. Let me know if this doesn't work for you, proviidng both laptops have working wireless NICs.
